  4. Bodily Resurrection: A Hypothesis

    11/13/2025

    Bodily Resurrection: A Hypothesis

    This study hypothesizes a possible mechanism for bodily resurrection, based on what we have learned about biology and neuroscience over the last century. The purpose for the paper is not to claim that I have definitively “solved” the mystery of the resurrection or to present some sort of new theological dogma. It is a model, a conceptual tool designed to demonstrate the plausibility of a bodily resurrection that is compatible with modern science, as well as Biblical teaching. My hope is that this study would strengthen the faith of those who may believe that a bodily resurrection is a fanciful notion. For a detailed written paper on this subject, see: https://www.mediafire.com/file_premium/ii87s9poqtgal4q/Sperling-Bodily_Resurrection_Analysis_BK_FORMAT_02.pdf/file The script for the audio/video study can be found at: https://www.mediafire.com/file_premium/zf395qhru1ju3mk/Sperling-Bodily_Resurrection_OVERVIEW_EDIT_02.pdf/file The slides for the audio/video study can be found at: https://www.mediafire.com/file_premium/puiubin6tr9lhi9/Sperling-Bodily_Resurrection_OVERVIEW_SLIDES.pdf/file For more studies by the same author, visit: https://www.ScriptureStudies.com
