	THE RESURRECTION DEBATE (2b)
		TILL Simon Greenleaf was an 18th-century professor of law at Harvard University, but he was also a devout believer in Christianity and the inspiration of the Bible.
		How could Greenleaf possibly have known that the apostles "asserted with one voice" the doctrine of the resurrection and did so in the face of "the greatest discouragements" unless he had assumed that the NT was historically accurate in making these claims.
		Greenleaf's quotation continues at length in McDowell's ETDAV, but it is just more of the same, i.e., argumentation that was based entirely on the assumption that the NT was true in whatever it said.
