Because Jesus is the most famous case of the claim a person rose from the dead, partisans have drawn up sides between those who insist his Resurrection was physical and those who argue it was an hallucinogenic metaphor. Most of that discussion has been conducted in the abstract, without regard to specific texts. Our discussion will reverse that emphasis, and develop a properly exegetical understanding of how the Resurrection was experienced and iinterpreted before asking whether it might attract belief. Time: 12:30 pm – 1:00 pm EDT/GMT-4 Location: Chapel of the Holy Innocents Sponsor: Institute of Advanced Theology Contact: Theresa Desmond.
