Hello and welcome to this joint broadcast of the podcast, the Cultural Hall, hosted by Richie Stedman, who's asked us to kind of guest host this forum.

And the Scriptures Are Real. I'm Carrie Mealstein, the host of The Scriptures Are Real, and I'm joined with one of my frequent guests, kind of almost a co-host, Dr. Andrew Skinner. And we are on our final special episode of the Passion Week or the Holy Week. Today we are celebrating, commemorated and celebrate are the right words. We're celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday.

So welcome to this, and Dr. Skinner, why don't you start us out?

0:45.9

Easter Sunday is the culminating event, I think, in all of creation.

0:53.1

It is the tangible proof that Jesus did have the power to do what he promised to do.

2:09.0

2:16.5

There is a British scholar who says, quote, this is one of the most remarkable things

2:21.9

about the gospel accounts of those remarkable early morning events.

2:25.9

Not one of them actually describes Jesus's resurrection.

2:30.6

We have the circumstances around which the resurrection occurs, such as Jesus'
