Abstract
In Part I of our study’ we saw that the resurrection has extensive and even ideological implications; rooted in the life of Jesus and the religious history of Israel, the event takes in the end and purpose of history itself. In particular it has become evident that talk of resurrection and reflection upon it must be concrete. It must have an ‘existential correlate’. Resurrection faith must be concrete, too, in its reference to Jesus of Nazareth, otherwise Christian faith is in danger of dissolving into still another ideological superstructure. It is here that historical-critical exegesis of the New Testament has its rightful place and prerogative. What do the exegetes tell us about God’s raising of Jesus from the dead? FAITH A N D THEOLOGICAL CONTENT C. F. Evans in his Resurrection and the New Testament2 examines the idea of resurrection (ch. l), the resurrection traditions of the New Testament (ch. 2) and the resurrection faith (ch. 3). After studying the vocabulary of resurrection in Judaism and Jewish apocalyptic, in the New Testament preaching of Jesus and the early history of the Church, the body of his form-critical review reveals the surprising fragmentation of the New Testament textual traditions.
