Raising Jesus Without God - A Natural Alternative || Minimal Facts Part 3

The moment you've all been waiting for: What *really* happened to Jesus? Honestly, we don't know for sure, but we think this idea is way more plausible than a supernatural resurrection! This is the final part of our mini-series on the Minimal Facts approach to Jesus' resurrection. Some of this you've seen before, but we're betting you haven't heard this approach to Paul!

If you are interested in learning more about apocalyptic Judaism or what Jesus likely taught, we recommend checking out the works of Bart Ehrman as an accessible first step. Here's a video to get you started: https://youtu.be/h6-8AoJQ_p4
