I See Dead People

Description

Matthew 27:51Ð54 and 28:1Ð10 both focus on ChristÕs death and resurrectionÑso these texts must be read together in order to understand their theological significance. However, over time, interpreters have separated these two pericopae, seeing 27:51Ð54 as the theological interpretation of the resurrection scene described in 28:1Ð10. This book instead proposes a literary reading that properly interprets Matthew 27:51Ð54 in light of the entire death-resurrection scene, rather than seeing it as an isolated occurrence.
