The language and nature of the resurrection of Jesus Christ in the New Testament

Abstract

"The resurrection of Jesus Christ constitutes the center of the NT message. The cynosure of Christianity from its very beginnings is the fact that God raised Jesus from the dead. But what exactly happened on Easter morning? Can mod- ern man believe in the gospel accounts of the resurrection of Jesus from the , grave? Is the resurrection of Jesus an historical event? If so, is it an event in the actual sense of the word or a mere expression of early Christian faith in Jesus as a divine person?"
