The Resurrection of Jesus--What Really Happened?

Christian apologists like Gary Habermas have written hundreds of pages on what they call the hard "evidence" for the resurrection of Jesus--taken quite literally--that he was revived in the tomb and walked out in his flesh and bones body early Easter Sunday morning after the crucifixion. But what really happened? Can we possibly know? Can we piece together from our various texts, both inside and outside the New Testament gospels, some reasonable picture of what went on that fateful day and how it led to faith that Jesus had been raised from the dead? Here is my attempt, with Youtube host Paul Williams (‪@BloggingTheology‬ ) to offer a succinct summary of what I consider to be the most likely scenario.

For a fuller exposition see this post on my TaborBlog, with links to a half dozen full treatments of all the details of my reconstruction:
