What Really Happened to Jesus: A Historical Approach to the Resurrection

Dissatisfied with what he regarded as evasive answers given by theologians and scholars about the nature of the resurrection of Jesus Gerd Ludemann subjected the New Testament traditions to a thorough investigation. In particular Ludemann was concerned with the story of the empty tomb and the subsequent appearance stories first related by Peter. Ludemann reaches surprising and somewhat radical conclusions. This book written for nonspecialists presents Ludemanns provocative conclusions. Readers will find a positive albeit revolutionary new way of viewing the resurrection.
