Listen "ELF 2021: Archaeological Evidence for Jesus"
Episode Synopsis
Recording of my workshop on New Testament archeology and the evidence for Jesus from the online 2021 European Leadership Forum, in which I show that archaeological evidence indicates that:
Jesus, son of Joseph and brother of James, existed in 1st century Israel
Jesus was crucified
Jesus was buried in a now empty Jerusalem tomb
Grave robbery was an offence that may have been associated with Nazareth (where the NT says Jesus lived) by the early 2nd century
Despite his crucifixion, Jesus was considered divine by some within a few generations (c. 120 yrs) of his death
The 1st century biographies of Jesus in the NT have been repeatedly verified by archaeological discoveries, which should encourage us to trust them on matters we can’t independently verify
