In 2003 the British New Testament scholar N. T. Wright published
The Resurrection of the Son of God, arguing vigorously that the
Resurrection of Christ should be handled purely as a historical
event - subjected to historical reason and critical-historical
research. This book critically examines Wright's arguments. Peter
Carnley demonstrates the flaws in the view that the Resurrection
should be understood essentially as Jesus' return from the dead to
this world of space and time in a material and physical body.
Carnley argues that the Resurrection of Christ is a "mystery of
God", which must necessarily be appropriated, not by reason alone,
but by faith. Evidence relating to a past occurrence can be known
only retrospectively. Yet Easter faith has to do with apprehending
in the present a concretely experienced reality - which Saint Paul
called "the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus" (Rom 8:2). An
epistemology of the identification of the Spirit in faith as the
living presence of Christ will be found in the companion volume to
this book: The Reconstruction of Resurrection Belief.
