5.0 out of 5 stars A Scientific Study of the Empty Tomb Narratives, January 1, 2001

This review is from: First Easter Morning: The Gospel Accounts of the Women's Visit to the Tomb of Jesus (Paperback)

Although it is an area that scholars usually shy away from, Edward Lynn Bode puts the stories of the visit of the women to the empty tomb of Jesus under investigation. Based on my own study, I disagree with the conclusion that Bode reaches in the last part of book, namely, that the empty tomb narratives are basically historical. However, Bode undertakes his own examination fairly and, thus, is to be commended. I found much of value in this book besides, particularly in the redaction criticism of all four empty tomb narratives. The best trait that Bode exhibits is an encyclopedic knowledge of various scholarly positions, which allows him to refer to the various differering opinions before presenting his own conclusion. This is fine scholarship.
