Bible Review

On the role of faith in grasping the meaning of the resurrection, see further, the comments of Lohse, “Was es heisst: Ich glaube an den auferstandenen Christus. Vom Zentrum einer Theologie des Neuen Testaments,” Berliner Theologische Zeitschrift 4 (1987), pp. 53–60.

See her discussion of the “feminine face” of the resurrection in O’Collins, What Are They Saying About the Resurrection? pp. 95–102. Compare, also, the comments of Luise Schottroff, “Maria Magdalena und die Frauen am Grab Jesu (Mk 15:40–16:8),” Evangelische Theologie 42 (1982), pp. 19–25.

These are the conclusions reached by O’Collins and Kendall, “Mary Magdalene as Major Witness to Jesus’ Resurrection,” Theological Studies (TS) 48 (1987), pp. 631–646.

See the penetrating comments about the role of women in the resurrection accounts in Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza, In Memory of Her: A Feminist Theological Reconstruction of Christian Origins (New York: The Crossroad, 1986), pp. 332ff.

On the use of Psalm 110 in the resurrection proclamation, see Perkins, Resurrection, pp. 82, 87, 165–166, 227, 230, 241, 243.
