Resurrection Summit
1996 meeting of biblical scholars
The Resurrection Summit was a meeting held at St. Joseph's Seminary, New York, 7 to 11 April 1996.[1][2][3] The summit gathered international biblical scholars in order to discuss the Christian belief that God raised Jesus from the dead. One of the organizers of the summit was Gerald O'Collins, who, at the time, was a theology professor at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome.[2][4] The summit papers were later compiled into a book.[5] In his reflection upon the summit Wilkins[1] noted that the essays offered a reply to the conclusions of the Jesus Seminar.
