Interesting enough not only critics, also theologians are really in trouble about the information of Jesus’ resurrection in the Gospels. The disturbing aspect is not only the miracle part of the occurrence, but also that a real story, a real narrative, is lacking in any of the Gospels. Only small collections of rather loose messages concerning the resurrection form the substance of the information we get per Gospel. It has always been a difficulty for Christian theologians to bring all information in right coherence until this day. That’s strange for an event with such a far-reaching impact for the Christian faith, isn’t it? How is it possible that the apostles who were the publishers of the Gospels, didn’t seem to be aware of the problems they created: many people after them would be in trouble with their information about the main point of the Christian faith: Jesus’ resurrection. Didn’t the apostles themselves meet penetrating questions about the subject, in their life? How could they be so naive with their written information? That’s the real point. Jesus’ resurrection is in the first place an information problem, not a dogmatic problem, not a matter of “no it isn’t – yes it is”. We simply need decent and not questionable information, don’t we? Earlier I wrote: And it is pretty easy to turn these questions into Bible Contradictions. E.g. were there two (as in Matthew) or three (Mark, Luke) women near the tomb? Were there two (Luke) angels or only one (Matthew)? (Compare the article: Were men or angels inside or outside the tomb when the women arrived?) Now we have to face the last one: Whom did the women see at the tomb?
