Topic: The empty tomb 49
Reading: Matthew 27:57-66, 28:1-15
Scripture: He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee. (Luke 24:6)
Note: The Tübingen School of Theology became an institution notorious for its radical views and teaching of the New Testament. They taught that 2nd century Christianity represented a synthesis of two opposing theses: Jewish Christianity and Gentile Christianity. This radical view had a profound impact in biblical study on the New Testament records.
David Friedrich Strauss in 1835, originated what he called the vision hypothesis, as part of the grand agenda of the Tübingen School’s rejection of the New Testament records. The vision hypothesis is a term used to cover a range of theories that question the veracity of the physical or bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ, suggesting that the sightings of a risen Jesus were visionary experiences.
The literal bodily resurrection of Jesus is a cornerstone of Christian belief, that cannot be compromised under any modified form of the vision hypothesis, as they are two complete opposing theses. Having observed the gradual dying of this Tübingen School agenda on the vision hypothesis, waning in relevance within the theological arena, a mutated form of the vision hypothesis was released from the stable of the Tübingen School and classed “subjective vision hypothesis.”
Food for thought: The tireless agenda of the enemies of the cross will certainly fail in their vain but relentless efforts at attempting to muffle the impact of the bodily resurrection of Jesus on humanity.
Declaration: Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. (Mark 16:9)
