About this video

Runtime: 10 mins

N.T. Wright discusses the resurrection and it's implications. The central theme of Christianity is belief in the resurrection, which is present at both its inception and culmination. However, interpreting this core belief is complex and remains controversial. N.T. Wright explores its roots in Second Temple Judaism and its development within early Christianity, where resurrection becomes crucial. Wright critiques the scholarly hypothesis that early Christian beliefs evolved from subjective visions into stories of a physical resurrection. He argues that subjective experiences alone could not have led first-century Jews to proclaim a crucified carpenter as the Messiah, emphasizing the historical implausibility of such a claim.
