You need to know that the early creed in 1 Cor 15:3-8 is the earliest and best evidence for the resurrection.
Here’s a post where I explain more about this, and here’s another post from William Lane Craig on the same topic.
You’re going to see this passage used in every single debate on the resurrection of Jesus. It’s front and center in the most recent summary I posted on the Craig-Crossley debate. Naturally, Crossley immediately accepted the date and the contents of the creed and the fact that it is eyewitness testimony. It’s that good.

This is off-topic, but have you been listening to the “Reclaiming the Mind” courses by Robert Bowman posted on Apologetics 315? They’re incredible! Highly recommended.

No, haven’t been listening! Sounds like something I should be following though.
