Jesus' Resurrection

Sessions

References

 

"If there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation has been in vain and your faith has been in vain." 

- St. Paul, 1 Corinthians 15:13-14 (NRSV). 

 

What actually happened at Jesus' Resurrection? Did the Jews of Jesus' day believe in a resurrection? How did Paul and the gospel writers understand the Resurrection? Is their witness credible? And how should we in the 21st century understand Jesus' Resurrection? What does it mean for us personally? We explored these issues Wednesday evenings during Lent 2002 using a 6 part video series featuring N. T. Wright, Jesus' Resurrection. Then and Now
