Abstract:In this article, I challenge Wright's view that the bodily resurrection of Jesus provides the "only sufficient and necessary explanation" for the New Testament accounts of the empty tomb and post-resurrection appearances. I then outline Lüdemann's version of the hallucination hypothesis, critique a range of evangelical responses to it, and suggest that part of the reason for the continuing impasse is that neither side engages seriously enough with the psychological and psychiatric literature in the field. My conclusion is that some form of hallucination hypothesis in combination with the concept of collective delusion may be the equal of the evangelical view in terms of its explanatory power.

“他向彼得显现”：重新思考幻觉假说

摘要：在这篇文章中，我挑战赖特的观点，即耶稣的身体复活为新约关于空墓和复活后显现的记载提供了“唯一充分和必要的解释”。然后我概述了 Lüdemann 版本的幻觉假说，批评了一系列福音派对此的反应，并认为持续僵局的部分原因是双方都没有足够认真地参与该领域的心理学和精神病学文献。我的结论是，某种形式的幻觉假设与集体妄想的概念相结合，就其解释力而言，可能与福音派观点相同。
