“…Many commentators, albeit with different nuances, agree with this assessment of Paul. 51 To conclude: the appearances were bodily manifestations of Jesus from the 'other side. ' Since the evidence decisively points in the direction of bodily resurrection appearances, it follows that Jesus' tomb must have been empty.…”

Casey seeks to undercut the apologetic case for Jesus' resurrection. By appealing to data about 'bereavement experiences,' he launches a series of interconnected arguments against the credibility of the resurrection. But there are many reasons for rejecting Casey's hypothesis on the origins of believing in the resurrection of Jesus: his understanding of bereavement experiences is unreliable and therefore cannot account for the original meaning assigned to the Easter appearances. He himself admits that bereavement apparitions cannot explain all of the appearances. Lastly Paul's testimony indicates that the appearances were bodily in nature. Given that the appearances should be understood as 'resurrection appearances,' it follows that Jesus' tomb was empty. This overall depiction of Easter faith is consistent with the background of Second Temple Judaism and the relevant New Testament data. Thus the apologists' concern to argue for Jesus' resurrection may continue to be endorsed.

The “clothe” metaphor in Paul and the entity taking the active role in baptism

The "clothe" metaphor in Paul and the entity taking the active role in baptism ABSTRACT The "clothe" metaphor in Paul contributes to the understanding of the entity taking the active role in baptism. Within the infant baptism tradition, it is understood to be God who is the active participant in baptism, while in the believer's baptismal tradition, human beings respond in obedience. The "clothe" metaphor in the Pauline and disputed Pauline material is applied in connection with baptism, ethical exhortation that is associated with baptism, or within an eschatological context in which the language continues with the baptismal imagery. The metaphor occurs mostly as a direct, reflexive middle, which points to the participation of the entity in the action. The entity thus acts in relation to himself or herself. This nature of the middle voice corresponds to the way in which the metaphor is used in the Pauline and disputed Pauline material, and indicates the conscious participation of the baptismal candidate in baptism. This interpretation argues for understanding baptism in Paul as believer's baptism, which in turn poses certain questions for those who believe in the infant baptismal tradition.

“…C.K. Barrett also understands sōma pneumatikon in v.44 as referring to ‘the new body animated by the Spirit of God.’ G. D. Fee affirms, ‘the transformed body is not composed of “spirit”; it is a body adapted to the eschatological existence that is under the domination of the Spirit.’ C. Wolff states, ‘The pneumatic body of the resurrection is through and through a body under the control of the divine Spirit.’…”
