Engaging Your Faith May 2025: The Originality and Purpose of the Burial, Empty Tomb, and Appearance Narratives in John (19:38–20:29)

Presented by Br Dr Paul Creevey FMS

John’s re-telling of the Christian tradition associated with the burial, empty tomb, and appearance narratives of Jesus is quite distinct from the Synoptics. In this talk, John’s distinctiveness in 19:38–20:29 will be explored, providing a possible theological purpose to its re-telling in light of Paul’s exhortation in 1 Cor 15:12-24 that without the resurrection our faith would be in vain.

Bookings close: Friday 23 May at 5pm
