: Paul, in the fifteenth chapter of his Epistle to the Corinthians, gives a detailed list of several resurrection appearances. Now there is scarcely a scholar who has doubted the genuineness of 1 Corinthians, and its date is generally accepted as about 56 A.D. But the apostle writes that he had not only previously given his readers this information orally (i.e., in 49 A.D.), but had himself 'received' it, presumably from those who were apostles before him. This may take us back to 40 A.D. or to within some ten years of the crucifixion.... Paul tells us that in 56 A.D. the majority of some 500 original witnesses were still alive....

: The resurrection shows that [[God]] has made the crucified both Lord and Christ. At the right hand of the Father, [[Jesus]] rules until the day that he will come to restore and renew all things. With the resurrection of Jesus and his entrance into glory, a new age has begun.
