Investigating the Resurrection of Jesus ChristA New Transdisciplinary Approach\nAuthor(s): Andrew Loke\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9780367477561, 978-0367477561\nSynopsis\nThis book provides an original and comprehensive assessment of the hypotheses concerning the origin of resurrection Christology. It fills a gap in the literature by addressing these issues using a transdisciplinary approach involving historical-critical study of the New Testament, theology, analytic philosophy, psychology and comparative religion.\n\nUsing a novel analytic framework, this book demonstrates that a logically exhaustive list of hypotheses concerning the claims of Jesus post-mortem appearances and the outcome of Jesus body can be formulated. It addresses these hypotheses in detail, including sophisticated combinations of hallucination hypothesis with cognitive dissonance; memory distortion; and confirmation bias. Addressing writin.
