NEWS FLASH: I keep learning more about events that happened two thousand years ago. Who’d have thought?
Over the last few days I made a number of revisions, corrections, and additions to my page on the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. I’ve been working through a lot of books on the subject and have yet a few more to go before focusing on my draft of a new page about interpretations of the appearances of Jesus.
The two biggest changes to the current page are the following:
Dale Martin’s 1995 book, The Corinthian Body, provided a lot of new material that helped me better understand Paul’s discussion of resurrected bodies in his First Letter to the Corinthians.
A video interview of Dennis MacDonald on the MythVision podcast gave me some new ideas about Mark’s use of the “man” in a robe in the empty tomb, as well as how that man complements the young man who loses his garment while fleeing the arrest of Jesus. I’ll have to look into this further but found it persuasive enough to make use of it.
As always, I invite your comments.
