Overview

"Gerd Ludemann and other Gospel scholars debated the question of the resurrection with William Lane Craig and failed to show that the story of Jesus' burial by Joseph of Arimathea was not historical, and that there is another burial story in the Gospel of John (19:31-33). Joseph Codsi invites them to read this book and discuss this question all over again. In addition, the second part of this book is about repressed memories in the Gospel of Mark. So far, scholars have discussed what is said overtly in the sacred texts. They did not notice the existence of enigmatic texts that ""do not mention what they know, hide what organizes them, and unveil solely by their form what they erase from their content."" What those texts reveal is that, in the last phase of his life, Jesus received special revelations concerning God's plans for Israel. According to those plans, the temple sacrifices will become obsolete and the Passover meal will be celebrated anywhere in the world, not just in Jerusalem. When Jesus revealed this to the five and four thousand people, they recognized in him the prophet who was to come, and they wanted to make him king."
