Why Jesus Wasn't Recognized After Resurrection Explained. With @garyhabermas1473

Why wasn’t Jesus immediately recognized after the resurrection?

In this conversation, scholars explore one of the most puzzling details in the Gospel accounts: why even Jesus’ closest followers struggled to recognize Him after He rose from the dead.

From psychological expectations, to physical transformation, to key moments like the road to Emmaus, Mary at the tomb, and the disciples in Galilee — the discussion examines how historical context, human perception, and the Gospel texts themselves help explain what happened.

Was it doubt? Confusion? Changed appearance?
Or something deeper about how resurrection was understood in the first century?

This conversation invites you to think carefully about the evidence, the text, and the assumptions we bring when reading ancient history.
