My title for this video is not click-bait. I am as serious as I could be. I offer here a clear and thorough overview of my contention that most Evangelical Christians have ignored our earliest and only first-person testimony to Jesus' resurrection! One would think they would wave it like a triumphant banner to all unbelievers. However, although they know it, and even refer to it, they largely IGNORE its absolutely clear content in favor of much later Gospel accounts that were polemical and apologetic arguments decades later, developed against unbelievers that charged the first witnesses had only seen a ghost or spirit--or were perhaps delusional. n this extended interview with Jacob Berman, host of @JacobBermanHistoryValley, I lay it all out as clearly as I think I have ever done. I also recommend to all who watch this that you visit my blog where you can have a written exposition of all these points and much more that you can study and share at your leisure. This post was praised by Michael Heiser, even though he ended up disagreeing with me, as one of the most honest and challenging treatments he had ever encountered.
