Was Jesus buried, and if so, was it in a tomb, a trench grave, or in some other way? This is the question (or set of related questions) that Answers in Genesis BUSTED! is pondering at present.
The burial of Jesus
is a topic that I have long found fascinating. When the relevant volume of the Encyclopedia of the Bible and its Reception
comes out later this year, there will be a multi-author article on the reception history of those stories, to which I contributed a section. But given the nature of the work for which it was written, that article won’t be focused on the historical question. The latter is a topic to which I hope to find time to return at some point in the future as a focus of research.
In the mean time, I’ll keep mentioning it from time to time here on the blog – and linking to any mentions or discussions of the topic elsewhere that I notice and which seem worth sharing.
