ABSTRACT
Anyone ever involved in religious education, as parent, teacher, catechist or minister, realizes that those whom they seek to educate want to know how much of it is true. Some feel in their bones that God exists, but others see nothing to show that such a being exists. The Christian religion is based on the claim that Jesus of Nazareth was raised from the dead, that he appeared to certain men and women, ate and drank with them, etc., before withdrawing from earthly sight. Like anything else that happened long ago, this could be a fact only if we trust the testimony of those who claim to have been there at the time. We surely need extraordinarily strong evidence before we could accept it as something that ‘really’ happened.
