Hi everyone,
If you’ve seen me discuss Jesus’ resurrection before, you will likely recognise the name Dale Allison. Professor of New Testament at Princeton Theological Seminary, Dr. Allison is also the author of The Resurrection of Jesus: Apologetics, Polemics, History, which is my favourite book on the subject.
His analysis is comprehensive, fair, and exciting, exhibiting both a wealth of knowledge and an honest approach.
Why is Jesus’ appearance mentioned to Peter not detailed? Who are the “500” Paul tells us Jesus visited? If something is a vision, does that make it false? What are some of the weirder theories regarding the events of Easter Sunday?
All that and more in today’s episode.
