Mark 16:1-8: The Empty Tomb of a Hero?

Mark 16:1-8: The Empty Tomb of a Hero?

  • Technical
  • Peter G. Bolt

Greek hero cults consisted of sacrifices offered at the grave of deceased human beings. There was a belief that the hero was still active and able to exercise a powerful influence. In this article, this evidence is compared to Mark’s portrayal of Jesus’ empty tomb to show that it is not the empty tomb of a hero, but of one who has been raised from the dead.
