Proceeding With Consideration of Spiritual Resurrection in the First Two Hundred Years

Following up on the March 28, 2022, Bible and Beyond Discussion, our conversation on April 25 continued a study of articulations of Christ peoples’ consideration and elaboration of spiritual resurrection in the first two hundred years CE. Whereas the March study concentrated on the ways Paul’s letters and the Nag Hammadi “Treatise” laid out spiritual resurrection, in this discussion we expanded on notions of spiritual resurrection in passages about empty tombs and visions. Texts used:  Gospel of Mark, 16:1-8; Gospel of Luke, 24:1-18; Gospel of Thomas, Saying 50 and 70; and Gospel of Mary, chapter 9.
