It's got great visuals (a valley of dry bones coming to life), most people know it at least through the Dry Bones song, and it communicates that God is powerful enough to raise the dead. I think the key issue for most people isn't "Did Jesus rise from the dead?" but "Can God raise the dead?" They dismiss Jesus' resurrection because they dismiss any resurrection. <br />Or the story of Lazarus is another good place to focus, because it shows the raising to life of someone dead for three days, and that Jesus is the focus of resurrection life.Andrew Reidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-58457358637520381912011-12-08T20:08:38.604+13:002011-12-08T20:08:38.604+13:00Here's the link gto Peter Williams' lectur...Here's the link gto Peter Williams' lecture:<br /><br />http://www.laniertheologicallibrary.org/previous-events/<br /><br />MartinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-6168611985242676462011-12-08T20:02:54.592+13:002011-12-08T20:02:54.592+13:00Peter Williams of Tyndale House says "somethi...Peter Williams of Tyndale House says "something worthwhile about the resurrection" in about 5 minutes in the Q & A section at the end of his videoed lecture at Lanier Theological Library dealing with the differences in the accounts (time/number of women/number of angels/"men"/locations etc), developing the methodology from Richard Bauckham.<br />Google Lanier Theological Library (Past Events) or link thru Sydney Anglicans.<br />Briefly: at least six women are mentioned, so you have multliple testimony.

I find that Johnson's perspective cuts through a lot of B.S. (academic or otherwise).Fr. Bryan Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040773309359417883noreply@blogger.com
