NO COMPELLING REFUTATIONS
Stephen Davis in an article titled, “Why the Historical Jesus Matters” in recent Theology News and Notes magazine from Fuller Seminary writes concerning the reliability of the resurrection writes, “Opponents of the resurrection face one huge embarrassment: NO one has ever produced a plausible naturalistic explanation of what happened after the crucifixion that accounts for all the accepted facts (e.g. Jesus was crucified and died; early Christians believed in the resurrection). None of the explanations that have been suggested–wrong tomb, swoon, hallucination, mistaken identity, myth–have any compelling evidence in their favor and many are so weak as to collapse of their own weight once spelled out.”
