The Resurrection: Doctrine or Reality? with Gavin Ortlund (@TruthUnites )

Join Melanie Penn on The Rising as she welcomes Dr. Gavin Ortlund—pastor, author, speaker, and apologist. In this episode, Gavin and Melanie delve into the historical evidence of the resurrection of Christ. Dr. Ortlund discusses common skeptical theories against the resurrection, such as grave theft and hallucination, and explains why the disciples’ willingness to die for their eyewitness accounts is compelling evidence. He also introduces the “criterion of embarrassment” from the Gospels, highlighting how the apostles’ unflattering portrayals of themselves lend credibility to their testimonies. Plus, hear why the omnipresence of the Holy Spirit means believers today are in a better position than even the apostles were. Discover more about Dr. Ortlund’s work, including his YouTube channel, Truth Unites, and his upcoming book, Why Christianity Makes Sense.
