Bereavement Apparitions 5: Not with a bang but a whimper

from The Lydia McGrew Podcast · host Lydia McGrew Podcast

How do bereavement apparitions (assuming that they occur) typically end? *Not* with something like the ascension scene as described in Acts 1. Here again I'm investigating whether the bereavement apparition literature, even taken on its own terms, provides a good fit for what is *claimed* in the canonical Gospels and Acts. Dale Allison frequently implies or even states that there are significant parallels between these, but we see again and again that it isn't true. In this video I even describe a truly jaw-dropping eisegesis from Allison of Matthew 28:18.Thumbnail _The Ascension_, John Singleton Copley, public domain
