Scholars generally agree that the gospel accounts of Jesus’ life and teaching—including accounts of his resurrection—are based on traditions that, at the time of compilation, were a generation or more old. This may be adequate testimony for much of the narrative, but for the physical resurrection of a medically deceased person, second and third-hand reports may be less than fully convincing for some readers.
