The use of the single term "resurrection" to cover the phenomenon is a mistake, one that has tyrannized Christianity. Furthermore, most Christians believe in a physical resurrection, although Paul clearly calls this into question. Once that tradition became fixed, it provided the lens through which everything else was viewed–and distorted. By examining the so-called resurrection stories in chronological order, this book aspires to prompt readers to consider questions such as,
- What does the New Testament really say about the resurrection?
- What is the influence of Judaism on Christian belief in the resurrection?
- How did the resurrection become the central belief in Christianity?
- Why did early Christians choose to believe in the resurrection?
- And why is resurrection not the right word?
