Abstract: A number of Christian philosophers, most recently Gary R. Habermas and William Lane Craig, have claimed that there is sufficient historical evidence to establish the resurrection of Jesus conceived as the transformation of Jesus' corpse into a living supernatural body that possesses such extraordinary dispositional properties as the inability to ever die again.T argue that, given this conception of resurrection, our only source of potential evidence, the New Testament Easter traditions, cannot provide adequate information to enable us to establish the historicity of the resurrection-even on the assumption that these traditions are completely historicallv reliable.
