{"product_id":"empty-tomb-resurrection-apotheosis-john-granger-cook-9783161565038","title":"Empty Tomb, Resurrection, Apotheosis","description":"Ancient and modern scholars have written many thousands of pages on resurrection in the New Testament. Fewer have examined the theme in both pagan and Jewish texts, however, and the topic remains inherently fascinating. John Granger Cook argues for two primary hypotheses: First, there is no fundamental difference between Paul's conception of the resurrection body and that of the Gospels; and second, the resurrection and translation stories of Greco-Roman antiquity probably help explain the willingness of Mediterranean people to gradually accept the Gospel of a crucified and risen savior. The use of egeiro, wake\/rise) and istemi, rise) and the bodily nature of resurrection in ancient Judaism and paganism warrant the first hypothesis. The second hypothesis is more speculative, but the Christian apologists' comparisons of pagan narratives with those of the New Testament renders it feasible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Granger Cook\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3161565037\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783161565038\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mohr Siebeck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 717\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.80d","brand":"John Granger Cook","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43940761895167,"sku":"9783161565038","price":237.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c7dad31e-e21e-4e6e-b924-efb9b9f6d65e.jpg?v=1681449038","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/empty-tomb-resurrection-apotheosis-john-granger-cook-9783161565038","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
