The 6 Minimal Facts (Gary Habermas)
1. Jesus was a real person, and He died by Roman crucifixion.
2. Jesus’ followers experienced what they believed to be actual appearances of a resurrected Jesus.
3. Because of those experiences, these followers were willing to die for their faith in Jesus’ resurrection.
4. The Christian church started right after Jesus was killed, right where Jesus was killed, in the city of Jerusalem.
5. James, the brother of Jesus, was not a Christian until after he believed he saw the resurrected Christ.
6. Paul, who wrote the majority of the New Testament, went from killing Christians to starting churches because he had an experience with who he believed was the risen Christ.
