What would it take for Alex O'Connor to believe Jesus rose from the dead? Trent Horn v Alex O'Connor

from Unbelievable?

Did Jesus really rise from the dead, or is the resurrection best explained another way? In this gripping debate, Alex O'Connor and Trent Horn go head-to-head on one of history’s most controversial claims. Trent argues that the resurrection offers the best explanation for the historical evidence: the empty tomb, the transformation of the disciples, and early eyewitness testimony. Alex pushes back, questioning the reliability of the sources and offering alternative explanations from visionary experiences to parallels with other religious movements. Along the way, they tackle group hallucinations, the martyrdom of the apostles, and even surprising comparisons with Mormonism. Hosted by John Nelson, this is a thoughtful, fast-paced exchange that gets to the heart of whether the resurrection is fact, faith, or something else entirely.
