Q

What is the analogy Paul uses of the seed?

A

Human bodies = seeds planted in earth. WEAKER, PERISHABLE

Heavenly body = different yet connected. POWERFUL, IMPERSIHABLE

This transition to heavenly bodies will instantly happen and we will be changed. God has power over death.

Q

What was Rudolf Bultmann’s beliefs about myths?

A
  • DEMYTHOLOGISE the New Testament aka remove mythical elements w/ supernatural etc
  • Impossible for modern readers to believe mythical accounts
  • SO wanted to interpret NT in a way MODERN readers could understand
  • Resurrection is a MYTH and NOT historical
17
Q

How did Bultmann allow resurrection to retain meaning?

A
  1. allows and inspires faith
  2. resurrection happens WITHIN people once they hear preaching/experience faith

3.Important thing about Jesus isn’t his resurrection, but being seen through “eyes of faith” as RISEN ONE by Christians

18
Q

What were Bultmman’s beliefs about Jesus’ crucifixion?

A
  • Already showed Son of God’s victory of power over death
  • Crucifixion contained resurrection within it. SO no other historical event
19
Q

What did Bultmann believe Easter was about?

A
  • arising of EARLY CHURCH not Jesus’ physical body
  • rise of faith through preaching of disciples
    -Preaching leads to illumination, not belief in resurrection
20
Q

What are some arguments against Bultmann’s theory?

A
  1. Denial of an actual resurrection goes against the basis of Christianity and makes it meaningless
  2. Historical reliability is affirmed by many modern Christians today and therefore understandable
  3. W/ out resurrection, Christians won’t have eternal life
  4. Many philosophers who’ve denied the resurrection as historical have become agnostic or atheist. SO, denying resurrection as historical is denying Christianity itself
21
Q

What was N.T. Wright’s beliefs about Jesus’ resurrection?

A
  • Marks the start of a restoration of creation which will be completes on Jesus’ second coming
22
Q

It isn’t life after death.

It’s life AFTER life after death. So, a new life after being bodily dead.

23
Q

How does N.T. Wright believe Judaism affects the resurrection? Pt. 1

A
  • Ancient Judaism has a vague idea of resurrection
  • Believed that a Messiah would defeat Israel’s enemies
  • BUT, Jesus wasn’t this sort of Messiah. Suffered, self-sacrificed etc
24
Q

How does N.T. Wright believe Judaism affects the resurrection? Pt. 2

A
  • Jesus’ death would have confirmed he was not the Jewish Messiah
  • End of Jesus mvmt - except it wasn’t! Jewish theological beliefs only didn’t change bc Jesus’ resurrection rlly occured
  • Began to preach Jesus as risen from the dead. Only reason why was because they thought he’d been bodily raised
25
Q

How does N.T. Wright believe early Christianity affects the resurrection?

A
  • More sharply focused that Judaism
  • Resurrection is an act of NEW CREATION
  • it’s NOT just returning to our old bodies OR DISEMBODIED bliss
  • gift of a new body with different abilities
26
Q

What does Wright believe about the empty tomb?

A
  • Empty tomb was discovered by women followers in patriarchal society
  • If it was made up, authors would have made men discover tomb
27
Q

What does Wright conclude about the resurrection?

A

The resurrection is the most convincing historical explanation for the origins of Christianity.
All other arguments are less convincing.

28
Q

What are some arguments against Wright?

A
  1. Hallucination hypothesis: Jesus’ appearances to disciples were hallucinations and not credible evidence
  2. Jesus could never have survived the resurrection because Roman soldiers would have known how to kill
  3. An empty tomb wouldn’t have led disciples to believe he had been resurrected, but that the body had been stolen
