The resurrection of Jesus—why is it important and what does it tell us about Jesus and Christianity today? If students are to confidently take up a personal faith, it’s crucial they have the opportunity to systematically review the evidence and investigate counterclaims of this extraordinary event in history.
This curriculum unapologetically opens the door for all possible theories – the swoon, the legend, the stolen body and the hallucination – to be explored and discussed before the historical, bodily evidence of Jesus’ resurrection is placed under the microscope.
An engaging resource, students will be challenged to reflect on their beliefs and what the meaning of Christ’s resurrection may have on their own lives.
This unit includes an assessment task and a class debate activity, and is supported by additional resources on the CEP Teachers Lounge.
