Immediate Historical Causes of Jesus’ Death • Conspiracy of Jewish leaders (their misdirected religious zeal, envy, ignorance, fear to lose power) • Charges: • violated Sabbath rest • threatened to destroy the Temple • put himself in God’s place (blasphemy)
Deeper Causes of Jesus’ Death • The world’s captivity to the demonic powers • Humanity’s sin • Will of God the Father
Objections to Resurrection • Miracles don’t happen • Apparent death • Hallucinations hypothesis • The Wrong Tomb hypothesis • Incomplete & inconsistent evidence
