In both canonical and apocryphal accounts of Jesus' post-resurrection appearances, Jesus appears in an unrecognisable form to other characters, including people who knew him well just before his death. The motif of a character appearing in an unrecognisable form to people he or she knows well is one which exists in folk literature, and in Greco-Roman and Jewish literature from a range of genres. The author investigates a range of stories in which characters appear in an unrecognisable or metamorphic form, and summarises patterns and themes. This throws new light on how Jesus' post-resurrection stories would have been understood by their original audiences.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mohr Siebeck","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47889299570839,"sku":"9783161560774","price":13433.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783161560774.webp?v=1781175553","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/is-jesus-athene-or-odysseus-investigating-the-unrecognisability-and-metamorphosis-of-jesus-in-his-post-resurrection-appearances-9783161560774","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
