I think the best possible explanation of the Resurrection myth is to recognize that it is really just a cultural sop to older resurrection myths.
Ancient accounts tell of an important figure whose birth would be heralded by a star in the heavens, a god who would later judge the dead. He would be murdered in a betrayal by one close to him, his body hidden away — though not for long, as he would return in a miraculous resurrection to begin an eternal reign in heaven.
His name was Osiris.
