The covenant that Christianity makes with its followers for
life after death centers at the very heart of the religion's bounties. So
any point that would shake that foundation or make the rewards look less than
fully appealing should be examined. The
gospel of Mark 16:9-18 expounds upon the post crucifixion sightings of
Jesus. Scholarly debate argues what these forms looked like. [1]
The idea of a physical, corporeal Jesus walking around after death versus a
ghost-like specter haunting the living interests me.
