A brief description:
Resurrection: the Case of Jesus

 -  Issues concerning the possibility of afterlife have provoked perennial  controversy, especially since the Enlightenment. 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.
