Resurrection and History

This page will develop over time to keep track of my academic work on the issues regarding the resurrection of Jesus and history. Issues will generally revolve around conceptions of resurrection in the New Testament and its context, as well as issues related to the narrative accounts, specifically the burial, empty tomb and resurrection appearances.
