In today’s short video, Dr. Michael Licona talks briefly about the Fraud Theory which, in essence, charges the followers of Jesus with stealing Jesus’ body from the tomb and then making up the story about the resurrection. Further, the disciples would then have become willing martyrs for the known lie that they would have invented. While there are many other problems with this theory beyond this, the video is a good place to begin the investigation.
Remember, to see the course on the Resurrection that Licona is talking about, you can head over to Credo House’s website and see what that is all about and hopefully purchase a copy for yourself. I own a copy and it is a good introduction to the topic of the Resurrection.
Also, to learn more about Licona, the work he does, head on over to RisenJesus.com and give him your support. I am sure he would appreciate it.
