Resurrection
Contemporary post-Christian Western culture broadly treats the resurrection as a religious metaphor, myth, or seasonal cultural observance (heavily commercialized as ‘Easter,’ with imagery unrelated to the biblical event) rather than a claimed historical fact. Romans 1:4, 4:25, and 6:4-5 depend on a real, bodily, historical event; this curriculum should state the historical claim plainly rather than assume cultural familiarity implies belief in its factuality.
