Throughout this series of articles, there has been an underlying and heretofore unexplored question: Did the apostles make the whole thing up? Was the claim of Jesus's resurrection from the dead some grand hoax, some grand myth that quickly grew into a phenomenon placing the disciples in the grand spotlight of Christian stardom? After all, an empty tomb could have simply meant that the disciples (or anyone else, for that matter) stole the body. However, since the traditional Christian answer to this question has much merit, it bears further explanation here. Historian Craig Keener has said that the "ancients also recognized the willingness of people to die for their convictions, verified at least the sincerity of their motives, arguing against fabrication."
