THE RESURRECTION NARRATIVES AND MODERN CRITICISM.
By Thomas James Thorburn, B.D., LL.D.
Demy 8vo. 6s. net.
In this work, which is mainly a critique of Professor Schmeidel's theory that the recorded appearances of Jesus after His Crucifixion and Death were merely subjective hallucinations on the part of the disciples and others, the writer endeavours to show that such a view is untenable from a psychological point of view, as well as inconsistent with the general tenor of the Narratives themselves.
In the Appendices he gives in addition the Extra-Canonical Versions of the Resurrection, together with a critical abstract of all the various theories which up to the present time have been proposed to explain that event, including the most recent form of the original mythical theory of Strauss.
The author hopes, and believes, that the work will be of especial use, not only to parish clergy and ministers, but also to intelligent laymen of all classes who wish to inform themselves regarding the developments of theological thought, and to be able to form some idea of the value to be attached to modern critical theories dealing with the Resurrection of Jesus.
