Robert Conner's Book On the Resurrection of Jesus Is Now Available!
Both David Madison and I wrote blurbs for his book. Here's what I wrote:
We know the New Testament authors believed in ghost stories (Matt. 14:25-26; Luke 24:37). Was the resurrection tale of Jesus one of them? The Jesus we read about certainly had ghost-like qualities. He could appear mysteriously (Luke 24:36), go through closed doors (John 20:19), and vanish at will (Luke 24:31). These were some essential characteristics of Greco-Roman ghost folklore. In this provocative and insightful groundbreaking book, Robert Conner argues the resurrection tale is a ghost story from ancient superstitious people.Dr. Madison plans to review Conner's book here sometime in June.
