Not even the intense drama and tragedy of Jesus’ trial, passion, death and burial can
prepare one for the utter shock at what comes next in the well-known story: Jesus’ resurrection.
The Gospels recount varying stories of the disciples’ astonishment and confusion as they
encounter the resurrected Jesus.
The Gospel of Luke tells of one such meeting on the road to Emmaus. There is
considerable controversy among archaeologists as to which among nine sites may be identified
as Biblical Emmaus. In “Emmaus: Where Christ Appeared,” Hershel Shanks puts forth Emmaus
Nicopolis as the leading contender.
What did the concept of resurrection mean to the earliest Christians? In what ways did it
evolve from, and depart from, contemporaneous ideas about death and the afterlife? Author N.T.
Wright traces the origins of the idea of bodily resurrection to first-century Judaism in “The
Resurrection of Resurrection.”
And what about the wide range of modern interpretations of the Resurrection of Jesus
Christ? In “Thinking about Easter,” Markus J. Borg questions just how literal and physical we
should take the gospel accounts of the resurrected Jesus to be.
The interpretation of the Gospel of Mark in particular challenges Bible scholars because
at least nine versions of its conclusion have been identified in 1,700 surviving ancient Greek
manuscripts and early translations. In “To Be Continued...” author Michael W. Holmes stresses
the importance of piecing together the end Mark’s resurrection story.
