Publisher Description
The Resurrection Code reads like a well crafted?mystery that carries the reader along with successive?intrigues, hints and clues to a truly satisfying?resolution that leaves the faithful both informed and?inspired.With the adroitness of a skilled sleuth, Stibbe sorts?out various puzzles in the 'Easter enigma' recorded in?chapter 20 of the Fourth Gospel. In one of the most?charming literary compositions in all the Bible, indeed?all of literature, in The Resurrection Code we learn* ?who the author is of the Fourth Gospel * the identity?and possible background of the mysterious figure?(mentioned nowhere else in the New Testament) that?John repeatedly refers to as 'the disciple whom Jesus?loved' * the likely timing of Jesus' resurrection from the?grave and encounter with Mary (contrary to the?conventional Sunday dawn scenario)* why John's?gospel (unlike the other gospels) points out details of?Jesus' grave clothes left behind in the tomb and what?they signify* how the two angels posted at each end?of the slab where Jesus lay may supply an?interpretive key that unlocks the deeper meaning of?Jesus' enigmatic encounter with Mary Magdalene* ?why Jesus says to Mary, 'Do not touch me!' when?later he invites the apostle Thomas to touch his?hands and side.
