Beschreibung
Jürgen Becker analyzes the New Testament evidence of Jesus' resurrection and comes to the conclusion that Paul's own evidence on his vocation and the tradition in 1 Cor 15:3ff. contain significant statements on Easter. This leads to the insight that the Easter experience was perceived as a visionary occurrence affected by the Holy Spirit. In contrast, the epiphany-like stories of Easter in the Gospels describe a later understanding of Easter. The internal evidence of the Easter experience led to the conviction that God's raising of Christ from the dead was regarded as the beginning of the eschaton. This determined who God wanted to be from that time on, that the Risen One had been established as the central figure of salvation of the eschaton and that this era received its image through the spirit and the sending of the Easter witnesses.
