It fills a gap in the literature by addressing these issues using a transdisciplinary approach involving historical-critical study of the New Testament, theology, analytic philosophy, psychology and comparative religion. Using a novel analytic framework, this book demonstrates that a logically exhaustive list of hypotheses concerning the claims of Jesus' post-mortem appearances and the outcome of Jesus' body can be formulated. It addresses these hypotheses in detail, including sophisticated combinations of hallucination hypothesis with cognitive dissonance; memory distortion; and confirmation bias. Addressing writings from both within and outside of Christianity, it also demonstrates how a comparative religion approach might further illuminate the origins of Christianity. This is a thorough study of arguably the key event in the formation of the Christian faith. As such, it will be of keen interest to theologians, New Testament scholars, philosophers, and scholars of religious studies. 517 $aInvestigating the Resurrection of Jesus Christ 606 $aTheology, Practical 606 $aResurrection of Jesus Christ 606 $aChristianity 606 $aReligion 615 0$aTheology, Practical. 615 0$aResurrection of Jesus Christ. 615 0$aChristianity. 615 0$aReligion. 676 $a232.5 700 $aLoke$b Andrew Ter Ern$0938210 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910477128203321 996 $aInvestigating the resurrection of Jesus Christ$92946181 997 $aUNINA
