Michael Licona on the Historiography of the Resurrection
During the week before Easter, we visit with Dr. Michael Licona (Houston Baptist University) to discuss the historiography of Jesus’s death and resurrection. Is the Resurrection merely a tale pulled from pagan rituals or an example of mass hysteria? Dr. Licona examines these questions and other counter-arguments to the story presented in the Christian Gospels, and explains why it is important for Christians not to accept the validity of the Resurrection on faith alone, but to think closely about the historical evidence with respect to all alternative explanations. This, he says, can help counter doubt and strengthen one’s own faith.
