Here is the syllabus and course description for this class.  Please note that if you register for Sunday April 19th, it will include a small fee for lunch.

Have you ever noticed that the Gospel accounts of our Lord’s resurrection differ from one another? Some claim that these differences are contradictory and disprove the resurrection altogether. Nothing is more dangerous for the Christian than rejecting the resurrection. Paul says it best:

"If there is no resurrection of the dead, then neither has Christ been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, then empty (too) is our preaching; empty, too, your faith. Then we are also false witnesses to God, because we testified against God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if in fact the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised, and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins. Then those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are the most pitiable people of all.” [1 Cor 15:13-19]

 

We believe that God raised Christ from the dead through the power of the Holy Spirit [Rom 8:11]. The same Holy Spirit who raised Christ from the dead also inspired the Gospel accounts of His Resurrection. Fortunately, for those who believe, the differences in the Gospel accounts help prove the reality of Christ’s resurrection. In this class, we will examine all four Resurrection accounts found in the Gospels in order to understand the historical events recorded in each of them, and then we will synthesize a harmony of the Gospels to gain a full, biblically grounded, understanding of the Resurrection narratives. Through careful exegetical work, we will be able to confidently exclaim “He has Risen!”
