Produktinformationen zu „Did Jesus Rise from the Dead? (ePub)“
The Resurrection of Jesus is at the very root of Christian faith; without belief in Jesus Christianity dies. In this thought-provoking work, Matthew Levering defends the credibility of the claim that Jesus rose from the dead. Drawing on the work of N. T. Wright, Levering shows that the historical evidence vindicates this assumption, and reveals that the Gospels were backed by eyewitnesses who were living and telling their stories even during the time of the writing
of the Gospels. The author also emphasises the importance of evaluating the Old Testament to validate Jesus' Resurrection.
By highlighting the desire-both in the ancient world and now-to make the Resurrection more comprehensible by spiritualizing it, Levering argues that the fact that the disciples themselves did not do this provides a further clue to reliability. Finally, the author addresses the question of why Jesus does not continue to show himself in his glorified flesh after his resurrection, which is often seen as a strong case for scepticism. However, he shows that Jesus' entire mission is predicated upon
helping us to avoid cleaving to the present world over God. He is leading us to where he is-the kingdom of God, the beginning of the new creation at the Father's right hand. By developing these arguments for the historical reality of Jesus' Resurrection, this ground-breaking study expertly draws
together historical and theological reasons for believing that Jesus' Resurrection happened.
