Did Jesus REALLY Rise from the Dead? TOP 4 Reasons to Believe with Dr. Jeremiah J. Johnston

Do you believe the physical resurrection of Jesus really happened? Or maybe it’s all just imaginative storytelling? Culture is doing its best to convince the world there is nothing special about Jesus. Meanwhile, Christianity’s most important historical fact–the resurrection–is often the least studied and most misunderstood, creating a powerless faith.

Today on Good Friday, acclaimed apologist and New Testament scholar, Dr. Jeremiah J. Johnston, joins Frank to show why Jesus’ victory over death is central to a believer’s faith while sharing insights from his book, ‘Body of Proof‘. Together they answer questions like:

What two things have been at the forefront of Frank’s mind since the murder of Charlie Kirk?

Why is the bodily resurrection of Jesus essential to the Christian faith and what research has Jeremiah done on the topic?

What is the current mood in scholarship about the bodily resurrection of Jesus?

What happens when a society embraces Christianity?

What did apostate Bible scholar Bart Ehrmann recently admit about Jesus?

Do “bad” Christians nullify the truth of Christianity?

What makes Jesus unique among 10 other failed Jewish “messiahs” from the first century?

What is verisimilitude and how does it relate to the Gospels?

What is one of the greatest archaeology discoveries related to Jesus?

The truth is ladies and gentlemen, one day everyone is going to be resurrected. The question is, where will you be resurrected to? The choice is yours! Stay tuned for next week’s episode where Frank and Dr. Johnston examine the latest evidence for one of the most debated artifacts in history–the Shroud of Turin. Is it REALLY the burial cloth of Jesus, or the greatest hoax of all time?
