	Empty tomb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, early pilgrims to Jesus' tomb report that his body was placed in a trough in the tomb, and so Bruce argues that the angels, as supernatural beings, were sitting on thin air.
		According to modern archaeology, tombs of the era were accessed via doors at ground level that were generally less than a metre tall, fitting the description given to Mary's viewing.
		These tombs either had a lone chamber for a single individual, or a passage lined with entrances to a number of tombs, but since Mary is able to see into Jesus' tomb from the outside, it suggests the former type, and this is the traditional view.

	The Historicity of the Empty Tomb of Jesus
		Finally as to the absence of the empty tomb in the kerygma, the statement 'he was buried' followed by the proclamation of the resurrection indicates that the empty tomb was implied in the kerygma.
		If the empty tomb narrative were a late and legendary account, then it could hardly have avoided being cast in the prominent, ancient, and accepted third day motif.
		Very often contemporary theologians urge that the empty tomb is not a historical proof for the resurrection because for the disciples it was in itself ambiguous and not a proof.

	"Was the Tomb Really Empty?" by Robert H Stein
		A fourth argument for the resurrection is the witness of the empty tomb.
		The very variation in the different narratives of the empty tomb, which are in one sense embarrassing, argues that these accounts stem from separate and independent traditions, all of which witness to the tomb's being empty.
		The historicity of the empty tomb is supported by the fact that a specific tomb, which was known in Jerusalem as Joseph of Arimathea's tomb, was associated with the burial of Jesus.

	Empty Tomb
		For the Jews it was the remains of the man in the tomb which were raised; hence, they carefully preserved the bones of the dead in ossuaries until the eschatological resurrection.
		The empty tomb story is uncolored by the theological and apologetical motifs that would be characteristic of a later legendary account.
		The fact that women, whose testimony was worthless, rather than men, are the chief witnesses to the empty tomb is most plausibly accounted for by the fact that, like it or not, they were the discoverers of the empty tomb and the gospels accurately record this.

	How To Know God Exists - The Resurrection Part 5 -The Empty Tomb
		If we can show that the empty tomb did in fact exist and that there is no good naturalistic explanation for Jesus' missing body, then we have strong evidence for a supernatural explanation.
		Crossan and others argue that the whole tomb event had to be added later because the most primitive reports of the resurrection never cited it.
		In looking at the evidence: the historicity of the resurrection accounts, the trustworthiness of the reports from the disciples, the fact that eyewitnesses saw the resurrected Christ, their changed lives and the fact of the empty tomb, one can see that it is reasonable to believe that Jesus rose bodily from the dead.

	The Historicity of the Empty Tomb of Jesus
		The opening of tombs to allow late visitors to view the body or to check against apparent death was Jewish practice,{58} so the women's intention was not extraordinary.
		The tradition of the discovery of the empty tomb must be very old and very primitive because it lacks altogether the third day motif prominent in the kerygma, which is itself extremely old, as evident by its appearance in I Cor 15.
		The empty tomb is a sine qua non of the resurrection.

		Instead of finding an empty tomb, with all the possibilities that entailed, perhaps he was afraid he would be confronted with the corpse of Christ.
		And if John had entered the tomb and found the body of Jesus, that would mean he would have to accept the finality of the victory of the Sanhedrin and the Romans.
		Seeing the Empty Tomb would mean accepting the unwanted costs and responsibilities of discipleship, the likelihood of persecution and pain, the certainty of ridicule and scorn.

	The Empty Tomb
		Mark's account of the empty tomb was structured on the story of Daniel in the lion's den (Daniel 6).
		Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, 'Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?' But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away.
		Since the empty tomb tale is probably Mark's invention, the appearance to Mary at the tome also has a dubious basis.

	THE EMPTY TOMB
		When Mary went close to the tomb she was still weeping because she had not interpreted the opening of the tomb as a sign of resurrection.
		What she saw and heard was such that she got frightened and, followed by the chorus, she ran away from the tomb toward the center of the stage in a state of panic.
		Mary and the chorus did not recognize the figure inside the tomb as the resurrected Jesus, because it was a standard theme of Greek and Roman literature, as old as Homer, that when a god appears to men, at first he or she is not recognized.

		In any case, the question of whether the tomb was really empty, like practically every other question Strobel raises, is irrelevant until it has been established that what the gospels say happened actually did happen.
		If the story had been fabricated, it would have had the empty tomb being discovered by men, not women, because the Jews of the time were too misogynistic to put women into such a flattering role.
		Having proved to his own satisfaction that Jesus actually died on the cross and was buried in a tomb, and that the tomb was found empty three days later, Strobel must confront the implication that a miracle must have occurred.

	Craig's Empty Tomb and Habermas on Visions
		There is another reason to doubt the tomb burial: the tomb blocking stone is treated as round in the Gospels, but that would not have been the case in the time of Jesus, yet it was often the case after 70 C.E., just when the gospels were being written.
		There could still be a core truth about a tomb burial, with the details being added out of the imaginations of the authors or their sources, as often happened when even reliable historians described scenes in such vivid detail.
		I also think there are several plausible natural explanations for an empty tomb.[WIDBRS 1 and WIDBRS 2] Craig thinks "that most alternative explanations for the empty tomb are simply incredible" (259) but I wonder how he figures that.

	The Disciples' Inspection of the Empty Tomb
		There are three alternatives concerning the relation of Luke and John's stories of the disciples' inspection of Jesus's empty tomb: (1) Luke is dependent upon John, (2) John is dependent upon Luke, or (3) Luke and John are dependent upon a common tradition.
		The brief story of the disciples' inspection of the empty tomb (Lk 24,12.24; Jn 20,1-10) has been touted as "the most impressive test case" for the relationship of John and the Synoptics.
		He argues for a Lukan origin on the basis of the story's similarity of pattern to that of Luke's empty tomb story, the story's Lukan traits, and the story's function in the chapter's composition.
