Historical-Evidential
The historical case for Christianity, built on evidence a non-Christian historian can grant: the minimal facts surrounding the resurrection, the transmission and manuscript base of the New Testament, the character of the Gospels as testimony, and the credibility of the earliest witnesses. Competing naturalistic explanations, hallucination, theft of the body, legendary development, are treated as the arguments to beat.
