Seen here, again it's kinda long about a hour and nineteen minutes but very worth it. It has a Q&A session at the end as well.

Listening now :ebiggrin:
Read Licona's and Habermas's book The Case for the resurrection of Jesus a few years ago. Good stuff

It's interesting how Licona considers these three the top historical facts for the resurrection: (1) Death of Christ, (2) genuine belief of the disciples of the risen Christ and their willingness to die, (3) and the conversion of Paul.

I was under the impression that the "Empty Tomb" was one of the fundamental facts surrounding the Resurrection..? I would put this over the conversion of Paul.

Am I wrong here?
