提摩太·凯勒：本讲道探讨了耶稣复活对早期基督徒信仰转变的关键作用。在那个对基督教教义持怀疑态度的时代，耶稣复活这一事件成为了许多人相信基督教的决定性因素。讲道中，凯勒牧师以路加福音和使徒行传的受众提阿非罗为例，分析了在文化和智识上都与基督教教义格格不入的知识分子如何最终相信基督教。他指出，耶稣复活不仅是一个历史事实，更重要的是它所包含的教义，以及它对人们世界观的冲击。耶稣的多次显现并非为了满足人们的期待，而是为了打破他们原有的世界观，使他们能够以全新的视角看待信仰。凯勒牧师还对比了古代和现代世界观对复活的不同理解，并强调了信仰的真实性而非实用性。他认为，只有当人们真正相信复活的真实性时，才能获得改变人生的力量，并展现出基督徒的独特品格。

Tim Keller discusses the implausibility of Christianity in the Greco-Roman world and how the resurrection played a crucial role in convincing people of its truth.

Shownotes Transcript

It’s a simple fact that in the Greco-Roman world, the claims of Christianity were found every bit as implausible, if not more, than people find them now. So why did so many people believe? 

Fortunately, we have a case study in Theophilus. How does a cultured, intellectually sophisticated person living in a culture that’s hostile to the basic claims of Christianity come to believe Christianity is true? The answer in a nutshell: the resurrection. 

Whether we already believe or aren’t sure we believe, because of the resurrection we can know three things: 1) the truth is out there, 2) the truth is up there, and 3) the truth is in there. 

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on October 12, 2003. Series: The Necessity of Belief. Scripture: Acts 1:1-11.
