$\"\"$ <\/a>Amber\u2019s Question<\/strong>: Why do you think Christians have ignored the \u201cthird day motif\u201d for so long?<\/p>\n

Kermit\u2019s Answer<\/strong>: I don\u2019t think Christians have ignored the third day motif in scripture as much as they have failed to recognize its prominence and thus have not sought to understand its significance. Rabbis have understood its prominence, and some have searched out its significance, but largely without success in my opinion. They generally have concluded that it signifies a crisis from which God delivered. I think this is correct except the subtle meaning with regard to the third day intended is more nuanced than that.<\/p>\n

So, this Christian failure to recognize the prominence of the third day in scripture is connected somewhat to \u201cthe parting of the ways\u201d between church and synagogue and subsequent Christian anti-Semitism. It has only been in the 20^{th<\/sup> century that a bare few Christian scholars wrote on this subject. As far as I know, there has never been a book written only on this third day motif\u2013viewing it as typology and seeking in-depth to understand its meaning\u2013until my book The Third Day Bible Code.<\/em><\/p>\n}
