Plot

A concise examination of some key problems that arise from the New Testament's witness to Christ's resurrection. Here the author explores and throws light on the following questions. What were the post-resurrection appearances like? What importance should one recognize in Mary Magdalene's role as witness to the risen Jesus? How should we interpret Luke's emphasis on the bodily nature of the resurrection? Did the risen Lord, for example, eat some fish? What did Mark mean by the frightened silence of the women at the end of his Gospel?
