Empty Tomb - Jesus Beyond the Grave

Informationen zum Autor Edited by Robert M. Price and Jeffery Jay Lowder Klappentext Did Jesus rise from the dead? Although 19th- and early 20th-century biblical scholarship dismissed the resurrection narratives as late, legendary accounts, Christian apologists in the late 20th century revived historical apologetics for the resurrection of Jesus with increasingly sophisticated arguments. A few critics have directly addressed some of the new arguments, but their response has been largely muted. The Empty Tomb scrutinizes the claims of leading Christian apologists and critiques their view of the resurrection as the best historical explanation.The contributors include New Testament scholars, philosophers, historians, and leading nontheists. They focus on the key questions relevant to assessing the historicity of the resurrection: What did the authors of the New Testament mean when they said Jesus rose from the dead? What historical evidence is needed to establish the resurrection? If there is a God, why would He resurrect Jesus? Was there an empty tomb? What should we make of the appearance stories? Apart from historical evidence, is belief in the resurrection justified?The Empty Tomb provides a sober, objective response to arguments offered in defense of Christianity's central claim. Zusammenfassung Did Jesus rise from the dead? Focusing on the key questions relevant to assessing the historicity of the resurrection! this title offers an objective response to arguments offered in defense of Christianity's central claim. The contributors include New Testament scholars! philosophers! historians! and famous non-theists.
