'He is risen' and three evidences for the resurrection

A digression on the 'he is risen / he has risen indeed' call-and-response leads into a Christian Post piece on three key evidences of Jesus' return from the grave: scholarly agreement on the crucifixion (Bart Ehrman, Josephus, Tacitus, and David F. Strauss quoted at length on why the swoon theory fails), early attestation of the empty tomb and postmortem appearances (the 1 Corinthians 15 creed, Mary Magdalene as first witness — unlikely in a culture where women couldn't be legal witnesses), and the transformation of the disciples. A comedy aside about 'Halil' vetting Peter as a rabbi's follower, plus the honest caveat that later martyrdom alone proves nothing — the disciples are the 'pure use case' because they would have known if it were fraud — closes the segment, with The Case for Christ and Josh McDowell's Evidence That Demands a Verdict recommended.
