James Grant says,

Mark Driscoll provided something of an overview of N. T. Wright’s book The Resurrection of the Son of God. Here is Driscoll’s brief five-point summary of Wright’s argument:

1. Resurrection and its cognates mean “life after ‘life after death.’”
2. Ancient paganism strenuously denied the possibility of resurrection.
3. A strong belief in the hope of future resurrection existed only within the bounds of certain sects of Judaism.
4. The only possible reason why early Christianity began and took the shape it did is that the tomb really was empty and that people really did meet Jesus, alive again.
5. Though admitting it involves accepting a challenge at the level of worldview itself, the best historical explanation for all these phenomena is that Jesus was indeed bodily raised from the dead.
