Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty. Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up-if in fact the dead do not rise.
1 Corinthians 15:12-15

But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For
since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead.
1 Corinthians 15:20-21

Did Jesus Really Exist?
Did He Really Die On A Cross?

Historical Jewish Writings

About this time there lived Jesus, a wise man, if indeed one ought to call him a man.  For he was one who performed surprising deeds and was a teacher of such people as accept the truth gladly. He won over many Jews and many of the Greeks. He was the Messiah.
– Josephus Jewish Historian 91 A.D.

And when, upon the accusation of the principal men among us, Pilate had condemned him to a cross, those who had first come to love him did not cease.  He appeared to them spending a third day restored to life, for the prophets of God had foretold these things and a thousand other marvels about him.  And the tribe of the Christians, so called after him, has still to this day not disappeared.
Josephus Jewish Historian 91 A.D.

Having such a character [“rash and daring” in the context], Ananus thought that with Festus dead and Albinus still on the way, he would have the proper opportunity. Convening the judges of the Sanhedrin, he brought before them the brother of Jesus who was called the Christ, whose name was James, and certain others. He accused them of having transgressed the law and delivered them up to be stoned.
Josephus Jewish Historian 91 A.D.

Roman Writings

I thought I should release those who denied that they were or had been Christians, when following my lead they first invoked the gods and offered incense and wine to your image, which for this purpose I had ordered brought in with the images of the gods, and afterwards cursed Christ.
Pliny The Younger (c. 61–113 AD) To Emperor Trajan

It is said that those who are really Christians cannot be forced to do any of these things. Others named in the indictment said they were Christians but presently denied it; they had been Christians but had stopped, some two years, others many years ago, a few twenty years past. All of them reverenced your image and the images of the gods and cursed Christ.
Pliny The Younger (c. 61–113 AD) To Emperor Trajan

They testified that this was the whole of their crime or error, that they had met regularly before dawn on a fixed day and recited an antiphonal code to Christ as to a god, and took an oath not for committing any crime but instead for not committing thefts, robberies, or adulteries, nor to refuse to repay a deposit. They had even stopped doing this after my edict, by which in accordance with your commission I had forbidden associations to exist.
Pliny The Younger (c. 61–113 AD) To The Emperor Trajan

“Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know— Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death; whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.
Acts 2:22-24

Many Have Set Out To Prove Jesus Was Fake And That He Was Not Raised From The Dead Only To Be Compelled To Say The Opposite

Lee Strobel (Journalist)

C. S. Lewis (Oxford And Cambridge Medieval Literature Professor)

Edith Stein (Jewish Philosopher)

Francis Collins (Geneticist) – Collins Was An Atheist Scientist, Who Studied DNA
Author Of The Language Of God.

Antony Flew (Philosopher) – Flew was a rabid atheist throughout most of his life, but changed directions later in life. His 2007 book, There is a God: How the World’s Most Notorious Atheist Changed his Mind, offers this striking description: “It may well be that no one is as surprised as I am that my exploration of the Divine has after all these years turned from denial…to discovery.”

Simon Greenleaf (1783–1853), A principal founder of Harvard Law School and author of the influential Treatise on the Law of Evidence, was a committed Christian who argued that law should be taught as a moral science and a form of Christian evangelism. He famously applied legal evidence standards to defend the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
John 3:18-19
