Summary

Did Jesus really rise from the dead? Is there any good evidence to support the resurrection? Are alternative explanations more compelling? Can we trust the biblical narratives? Ruth Jackson hosted a live debate at a school with the help of Aylesbury Youth for Christ. She was joined by Rev Dr Joseph Boot, founder and president of the Ezra Institute for Contemporary Christianity, and Harry Amos, who moved from Christianity to "agnostic atheism" while studying philosophy, politics and economics and blogs about his experience at The Book of Amos.

0:25.0	Now critically the reality of the resurrection is not an isolated event.
0:31.0	It is part and parcel of a world and life view. A big story about reality, we might say, a meta narrative that coherently hangs together and appears plausible and necessary
0:46.7	within that context within that
0:54.1	particular account of reality.
0:53.2	Outside of a worldview that acknowledges God

1:16.0	oh, maybe people were just having visions.
1:18.0	Well, no, Jesus ate fish, no, Thomas, even a disciple who doubted was able to stick his hand in the
1:27.6	whole marks of the crucifixion nails. then that counters the objection. But it is, again, in the book.
