Evidence for the Resurrection with Professor John Lennox.

Evidence, Miracles, and the Resurrection: A Scientist’s Case for Christian Faith Professor John Lennox examines John’s reaction to the empty tomb, seeing the grave cloths and head cloth arranged in a way that convinced him of Jesus’ resurrection, and argues that the resurrection is supported by cumulative evidence. He addresses common objections that miracles are impossible, tracing them to David Hume and citing conversations with Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, as well as philosopher Antony Flew’s later shift toward belief in God and his critique of Hume. He contends that laws of nature describe normal patterns and do not preclude divine intervention, likening it to a designer intervening in an engine. The talk highlights the New Testament’s evidence-based concept of faith, the credibility of witnesses, the early church’s rapid rise, and details such as women first reporting the empty tomb. He concludes that Christianity is “testable” through personal transformation and forgiveness experienced by those who trust Christ. 00:00 Clues in the Empty Tomb 00:59 Why People Dismiss Miracles 02:37 Hume Dawkins and the Objection 03:05 Anthony Flew Changes His Mind 07:25 Were Gospel Writers Primitive 10:39 Did Resurrection Break Nature 13:00 Faith as Evidence Based Trust 14:59 Witness Integrity and Hoax Claim 17:44 Rise of the Early Church 19:42 Johns Linen Cloths Detail 22:19 Mary Meets the Risen Jesus 23:40 A Living Test You Can Try 25:15 Transformation Stories and Closing 📌 Resources & More: Visit ezrafoundation.org for books and resources from the ministry.
