Description

This is an elementary course on the subject of resurrection. In this course, the students will acquaint themselves with the intellectual and textual arguments of resurrection. Likewise, these arguments will be backed up by scientific findings. Similarly, the instructor would analyze the validity of the saying 'the purpose of creation would cease to exist without the concept of resurrection.

It is also of importance for those who intend to understand the mentality of religious following people and also of people who live a meaningful life.

The problem of evil and justice of God cannot be fully comprehended without the belief in the resurrection. Therefore, if you are a seeker of truth and knowledge and trying to unsolve the mysteries of the universe or if you have doubts regarding these concepts, then this course is a must-have for you.

What stands out for this course is the simple language used to present the complication in the subject and the way in which it presents concise yet comprehensive answers to the inquisitive mind. The teacher guides through the many examples we come across in our day-to-day life. He would also use arguments that would tickle the thought and provide answers which are more than satisfying. Thereafter, he would make use of scientific findings to prove whether such a phenomenon is possible or not. If the answer is positive, then what are the circumstances for its actualization? And if the answer is negative i.e. resurrection is not possible, then why is it impossible?
