Jesus' Resurrection

"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 21^st 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
