Product Description
Sunday Telegraph
'The greatest Jesus scholar of his generation'
Product Description
The story of Christ’s crucifixion and subsequent resurrection is the rock of faith on which Christianity is founded. But on what evidence is the most miraculous phenomenon in religious history based?
World-famous Biblical scholar Geza Vermes has studied all the evidence that still remains, over two thousand years after Jesus Christ was reported to have risen from the dead. Examining the Jewish Bible, the New Testament and other accounts left to us, as well as contemporary attitudes to the afterlife, he takes us through each episode with a historian’s focus: the crucifixion, the treatment of the body, the statements of the women who found the empty tomb, and the visions of Christ by his disciples. Unravelling the true meaning conveyed in the Gospels, the Acts and St Paul, Vermes shines new light on the developing faith in the risen Christ among the first followers of Jesus.

The Resurrection
An excellent analysis of the Jewish ideas concerning resurrection at the time of Jesus. Very helpful overview of the understanding of the concepts involved in physical/spiritual resurrection.

Format:Paperback
Vermes, as in all his books on the Gospels, assumes firstly that Jesus could only think what other Jews of his day thought, and secondly that the early Christians were able to create stories outside of those limits.
He rejects the clear evidence of the Easter stories that something objective actually happened on Easter Day so his arguments therefore are bound to lead back to the conclusions he has assumed are true
This book will please those who share his assumptions but adds nothing to the understanding of how Jesus own preparation of the disciples for what was to happen when he was killed gave them the ability to understand the Easter Day experiences
