The Resurrection

Please Wait....

Stage 5-6

The resurrection is more than just an intellectual idea. Despite our culture’s commitment to philosophical systems of thought and relativistic truths, the preeminent Christian proclamation remains profound and, if substantiated, consigns all other ideas to the margins.
This unit critically examines the central event of Christianity along with all the popular objections and competing theories to the traditional biblical account of Jesus’ physical resurrection, including swoon theory, hallucination theory, stolen body theory and others.

By the end of this unit, students will be able to:

  • discuss evidence relating to the resurrection of Jesus
  • organise, analyse and synthesise relevant information about the resurrection of Jesus from a variety of sources, considering usefulness, validity and bias
  • identify key biblical texts as they apply to the resurrection of Jesus.
