The resurrection of Jesus Christ stands as the most pivotal event in all of history. It is not only the foundation of Christianity, but a cornerstone of Western civilisation itself. Much of what we take for granted traces back, in one way or another, to this single moment—from our dating system, which divides history into B.C. (Before Christ) and A.D. (Anno Domini, “in the year of our Lord”), to enduring ideas about sacrifice, charity, love, justice, and law.
Though it is often dismissed as belonging purely to faith, there remains a compelling case that it rests on solid historical footing. What follows is a look at several key pieces of evidence that point to the resurrection as history rather than myth—drawing on ancient sources, early Christian testimony, and even references beyond the Christian tradition, while also considering the profound impact this claim has had on the world ever since.
