Ježíšovo zmrtvýchvstání v současné německé teologii
The Resurrection of Jesus in Contemporary German Theology

Summary/Abstract: The paper assesses the approach to the resurrection of Jesus in the work of four important German authors. It is no exaggeration to say that they represent influential competing approaches to the subject of Easter. We begin with the famous Easter theses of Hans jürgen Verweyen and follow with a probe into the thought of Hans Kessler, currently the most important representative of the resurrection-in-death model. Kessler opposes Verweyen‘s theses and presents his own approach to the Easter issue, including anthropological and eschatological implications and consequences. Verweyen’s critic Kessler himself is then exposed to the critical pressure of Joseph Ratzinger, who is a prominent critic of the Auferstehung im Tode model. This study also considers the always polemical, provocative, and original Klaus Berger. The aim here is to compare the approaches of these authors.
