The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus
Secondary Christian apologetics source for historical resurrection arguments.

Objection
Miracles Are Impossible
Miracles are impossible because natural law rules out exceptions.
Natural laws describe ordinary creaturely patterns; they do not prove that the Creator cannot act within his creation.
Clarify the claim
The objection often assumes what it must prove: that a closed natural order exists and God cannot act. Christian theism denies that assumption.
Move to evidence
Once possibility is on the table, the question becomes evidential. The resurrection should be considered by asking what best explains the testimony and the rise of the church.
