Historical investigation relies on a spectrum of confidence rather than the absolute certainty found in mathematics. We must understand that historians deal in degrees of probability based on the available data and the strength of competing explanations. This video explores where the resurrection of Jesus falls on that scale and why some scholars find the evidence compelling enough to reach a high level of historical confidence. You will find an analysis of how different researchers categorize this event and what constitutes a sufficient level of proof for a past occurrence. I provide an affirmative case for why the data outdistances alternative theories and moves beyond simple speculation.
