2 Welcome to CREDIBLE CATHOLIC! WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? It is unbelief and skepticism. In our culture, derision of religion, God, the soul, Jesus, and the prospect of finding spiritual meaning in suffering, are not only tolerated but preached and sometimes even celebrated. Many are already infected by the faulty messages which are delivered in four popular, but inaccurate, secular myths. These myths, in one form or another, are as follows: Myth 1: Science and faith are incompatible, and since science is true, it has replaced religion. Myth 2: Human beings are like every other animal merely a complex of atoms and molecules. We have no soul, no eternal destiny, and no transcendent nature. When we die, we die. Myth 3: There is no explanation for why an all-loving God would allow suffering. Therefore, suffering is fundamentally negative and a loving God probably does not exist. Myth 4: There is no evidence for Jesus as an historical figure, and therefore his resurrection or divinity. If Jesus did exist he was just an interesting prophet, but not a Savior or the Son of God. The 2016 Pew Research Center s Religious Landscape Study indicates that over 40% of millennials have abandoned their faith to unbelief because these four challenges have not been adequately addressed. Unless we specifically and effectively address these challenges to faith, the percentage will continue to grow. What can be done? WHAT IS OUR SOLUTION? Credible Catholic, a Magis Center curriculum correlated to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, was specifically created to address these myths.

4 CREDIBLE CATHOLIC Presentation 3 Proof of Jesus Resurrection and Divinity Table of Contents GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Content: This presentation is primarily derived from the Credible Catholic Little Book (CCLB) 3 which can be found at crediblecatholic.com. The presentations are interactive, with prayers, questions for discussion, videos and activities. You will find that most of the slides are self-explanatory. If you are using the version without voiceover, it is suggested that you or one of your students read it aloud, then you can comment about it or lead a discussion related to it. The questions on the slides are included to encourage student participation, at your discretion. Handouts: Students do not need to write down what is on the slides. You can simply make a copy of the following pages, with images of the slides and additional notes, for their use. There are a few places where notes can be added by the students but the commentary should provide them with what they need. Opening & Closing Prayers: It is recommended that you have the whole class read these aloud to establish that you expect their participation. Videos and Audio Files: These are introduced on the previous slides so that you are prepared for them. They automatically start when the next slide is opened. There is a discussion question included with each video. If you wish to use it, ask it before changing slides. When leading a discussion, it is important to establish trust on the part of your students, so let them answer the questions without correction (unless you believe they are being malicious). The content of each presentation contains the Church s teachings on the topics, so you do not need to give correct answers to the discussion questions. Time Required: Each presentation was designed to be easily covered in 120 minutes. If you have less time, use your discretion in limiting some discussion, omitting an activity (or activities), skipping a video (or videos), and assigning the assessment for homework (see the chart on the next page for recommendations). If you find you have extra time, use it for further class discussion and/or to encourage your students to brainstorm how this information can be used to confront the challenges to faith they face. If you can, add personal anecdotes and examples as appropriate to enhance student learning. You may consider reading through the assessment questions beforehand to help you decide what to emphasize.

VIDEO #1: Healing of the Paralytic scene from Jesus of Nazareth In this scene, after the man asks for healing, Jesus refers to himself as the Son of Man and forgives his sin. Then, he heals the man to show that He has the power to forgive sin. 11. Jesus never claimed to me just a great human teacher, but that He and the Father were one. He claimed to be the Lord. Either it is true, or he is a liar or a lunatic. 9. A study of the Gospels in comparison with other contemporary writing reveals an unusual honesty in how miracles are reported. This is additional evidence for the truth of the reports. Notes: 12. Consider the value of a witness to a crime who was not involved in it and has no knowledge of those involved or a vested interest in the outcome (as compared to someone who does). 7 Magis Center 2017

One manuscript actually has the words, he was, perhaps, the Messiah and it was reported that he appeared alive to them. Whatever we make of the two debatable lines, most scholars agree that the references to Jesus as a teacher, wonder-worker and martyr, do indeed come from the pen of Josephus. This is a great example of how historians determine the accuracy of accounts. 16. ACTIVITY #1 14. More information on Josephus is available at: Josephus. More information about the Babylonian Talmud is available at: /jewish/The-Babylonian-Talmud.htm. 17. Evidence from Sources Outside of the New Testament 15. VIDEO #2: Non-Christian Evidence that Jesus Existed At the 1:40 mark, an interesting observation is made: If you re wondering why a Jewish historian would freely describe Jesus as the Messiah, the anointed King of the Jews, so do most scholars. It seems as though somewhere in the copying process a rather bold scribe has tried to improve the wording to bring it into line with Christian beliefs. If Josephus did include the reference Notes: Magis Center

10 CC P3 PRESENTATION GUIDE Shroud of Turin and the Resurrection of the Person in It. This is a good example of bias and prejudice. For various reasons, some people have decided that the Shroud is not the burial cloth of Jesus, and choose to promote this false evidence to support their belief, rather than letting the evidence speak for itself. 24.

(Mark 12:25) And if Christ has not been raised, then empty [too] is our preaching; empty, too, your faith. (1 Corinthians 15:14) 63. Arguments for the Historicity of the Resurrection 65. VIDEO #8: Proof for the Resurrection of Jesus While the arguments given for Jesus Resurrection are solid, this is not a Catholic video. There is a reference made in it to Jesus brother, James (but not one of the two Apostles named James). This assumption (that Jesus had a brother) is most likely based on a literal reading of the Scriptures outside of the Tradition of the Catholic Church. The term used for brother in Greek can also be used for relative or close associate. The Catholic Church has consistently taught that Mary always remained a virgin, and the fact that Jesus assigned the Apostle John to care for his Mother doesn t make sense if He had a brother or brothers. There is another tradition in Eastern Orthodox Churches that St. Joseph may have had a child, or children, from a previous marriage, which would account for the reference to James being the brother of Jesus in this passage. 64.

JOURNAL, then DISCUSS: Has this presentation convinced you that Jesus was a real person, performed miracles, resurrected from the dead, and is God? If so, why?
