Summarised from Lee Strobel's talk:
The case for Christ hinges on Jesus' resurrection:
1. Execution- Jesus was really dead. Even non-Christian scholars agree on this
2. Early- resurrection reports that are so early that they can't be legend
3. Empty- the tomb was empty, even opponents concede this because they say "the body was stolen". The question is not "is the tomb empty", but "how did it get empty"
4. Eyewitnesses- >500 eyewitnesses. 9 ancient sources confirming the conviction of disciples that they had encountered the risen Jesus. Cowardly disciples began to proclaim boldly about the resurrection, even to their deaths
