Guest Info/Bio:This week I had the chance to talk about the resurrection with Dr. Dale C. Allison. This will be the first of two parts. Dale C. Allison, Jr. is the Richard J.

His academic research and publications include the historical Jesus, the Gospel of Matthew, Second Temple Judaism, and the history of the interpretation and application of biblical texts.

0:00.0	The material is just thin in my judgment. And so given how hard ancient history is in general,
0:09.7	I think that there are skeptical scenarios that work if you are a skeptic. I'm not a skeptic,
0:17.3	but I'm trying to be fair-minded and objective. I also happen to think, as I told you, I'm a Christian, I'm happy to say Jesus rose from the dead,
0:26.6	but I don't think I can persuade a totally open-minded person on the basis of history alone.
0:36.6	That just isn't the way it works.
0:40.8	I love because I'm alone.
0:45.3	Do you believe in hell?
0:48.3	Because I am helpless.
0:52.3	This water I am treading is now my own.
0:59.8	Welcome to the Deconstructionist podcast. I'm your host, John Williamson, or at least about 85% of him.
1:07.1	I'm a little under the weather, so if you notice my voice is a little hoarse, that's why. But, you know, the show must go on, as they say.
1:17.0	One of the things I had intended undoing was this week continuing with the next logical episode

1:29.6	interview Dr. Dale Allison from Princeton Theological Seminary on a topic that I find fascinating.
1:36.1	I know a lot of you have asked about it, just in regards to some of the larger miracles that
1:40.6	occur or take place throughout the Bible. And this is the biggest, biggest one.
1:45.0	Obviously, you know, we are coming quickly upon Easter. And the resurrection is a big one.
1:51.2	You know, what, how do we, how do we think about this? How do we look at it? You know,
1:55.8	did it really, you know, happen? Was it, you know, a product of, uh, kind of revisionist history? You know, was it something that is meant to be
2:06.4	taken, you know, metaphorically? Like, how do we, how do we view this? You know, because it's obviously a
2:11.2	huge claim that we have as part of Christianity. So Dr. Allison has written and done tons of research, has written a really
2:20.3	fascinating book on the resurrection. And so we got a chance to talk. And I thought, how cool it'd
