Welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast, a production of Catholic Answers.

Happy Easter, everyone.

I'm Trent Horn, an Apologist for Catholic Answers, and today I want to address some of Rabbi

Tovia Singer's arguments against Jesus' resurrection.

So Tovia Singer has been engaging Christian Apologists for some time now, but he does so from

a Jewish perspective as a Rabbi.

But I think that the topic of the resurrection is one of the most effective to discuss with

a Jewish apologist.

That's because it can be really easy to get bogged down in the question of whether Jesus

fulfilled specific Messianic prophecies, such as you end up focusing on small details

in Biblical Hebrew or the interpretive traditions in the Talmud and things like that.

However, if Jesus Christ did rise from the dead, then almost everyone would agree that

this would vindicate not only his claims to divinity, but he and his followers claims

of him being the Messiah.

Now, I'm not going to address every argument Rabbi Singer has raised against Jesus' resurrection,

but I do want to point out how Rabbi Singer's skepticism towards the resurrection, if taken

to its logical conclusion, would undermine Judaism as well.

In other words, we have a case of when Jews argue like atheists.

For example, one way that Rabbi Singer argues against the resurrection is by pointing out

alleged contradictions between the gospel accounts.

Here's an example.
