Resurrection and Reception in Early Christianity

Focusing on the interpretation of Jesus' resurrection, the book argues that early Christians viewed the New Testament accounts not as literal events but as a representation of divine translation, a concept prevalent in Hellenistic and Roman myths. Richard Miller's insights challenge traditional perspectives and suggest that these narratives were understood differently in their historical context. This thought-provoking analysis has important implications for New Testament scholarship and is likely to stimulate debate among scholars in early Christianity and Classical studies.
