How Do We Know Easter Happened?

One would assume that the central tenet of Christianity, that Jesus Christ died and rose again, is something that must be taken by faith and faith alone. What William Craig shows is that is most certainly not the case. There is in fact an abundance of historical evidence that point to the historicity of Jesus' resurrection, providing a firm factual foundation on which the Christian faith rests. What we know for certain is that the world was turned upside down by a handful of uneducated fishermen, who were followers of Jesus, and something must make sense out of this fact. Craig argues that nothing except Jesus' resurrection holds explanatory power.
