«The Resurrection» is the historical essay by Geza Vermes, published by Penguin in paperback (176 pages, in English).
The historian Geza Vermes examines the sources on the resurrection of Jesus: the Jewish Bible, the New Testament, other early writings and the beliefs of the time about life after death. From this perspective he addresses the crucifixion, the empty tomb and the appearances of Christ to his disciples.
The work was originally published in 2008 and belongs to the tradition of studies on the historical Jesus.
For the general public and for students or specialists in the history of Christianity and biblical studies.
Géza Vermes, was a British academic, Biblical scholar, and Judaist of Jewish–Hungarian descent—one who also served as a Roman Catholic priest in his youth—and scholar specialized in the field of the history of religion, particularly ancient Judaism and early Christianity. He is best known for his complete translation of the Dead Sea Scrolls into English; his research focused on the Dead Sea Scrolls and other Ancient Hebrew writings in Aramaic such as the Targumim, and on the life and religion of Jesus. Vermes was one of the most important voices in contemporary Jesus research, and he has been described as the greatest Jesus scholar of his time. Vermes' written work on Jesus focuses principally on the Jewishness of the historical Jesus, as seen in the broader context of the narrative scope of Jewish history and theology, while questioning and challenging the basis of the Christian doctrine on Jesus.
