I've read that, those who were hostile to Christ during his life would have had no reason to steal his body, that the Romans would not have, and that his disciples-who seem confused about his saying that he had to die and rise again-would not have stolen the body because they didn't expect Christ to rise again.I am not as good an authority as some on this with respect to historicity issues. But I have problems with the logical contradiction of the resurrection. We are told that god the father, is a disembodied mind in a timeless and spaceless supernatural realm. But the resurrection and ascension of the Jesus figure was allegedly bodily, a body which requires time and space to exist. So if he did go somewhere it wasn't to where god (as the father) exists. Logically something with the dogma is false, where is Jesus?
I know about "The Lost Tomb of Jesus" film, but I've read that it's used sloppy methods and is generally unreliable. Any good books, or films, would be helpful to me, though.
