Assessing the Mode of Jesus's Post-resurrection Appearances: Does Parapsychology Help?
The tradition that God raised Jesus from the dead has been challenged by the revival of two hypotheses - a) that the post-resurrection appearances may be explained on the basis of bereavement hallucinations on the part of the disciples, and b) that, on the basis of a comparison with parapsychologica...

| Итог: | The tradition that God raised Jesus from the dead has been challenged by the revival of two hypotheses - a) that the post-resurrection appearances may be explained on the basis of bereavement hallucinations on the part of the disciples, and b) that, on the basis of a comparison with parapsychological literature, a paranormal explanation may be possible. After a brief critique of the traditional evangelical approach to the relevant New Testament texts, the present article focuses on an assessment of these alternative hypotheses, concluding that, although parapsychological literature offers some interesting comparisons with the post-resurrection appearances, the bereavement hallucination hypothesis shows more promise as a viable alternative to the traditional view. |
