Can apparitions explain the resurrection of Jesus?
In this conversation, scholars examine reported visions of Mary, Jesus, and other religious figures—from Zeitoun and Fatima to modern claims of healings and group apparitions. They discuss psychological explanations, altered states of consciousness, mass sightings, and how these phenomena compare with the earliest resurrection claims. By contrasting modern apparitions with the empty tomb and the physical appearances described in the New Testament, the discussion asks whether the resurrection of Jesus belongs in the same category—or stands apart entirely.
