Resurrection of a Female Disciple

Paper Summary:

This is an exegesis paper analyzing the time period, author, world-view, location and other relevant information regarding this passage in Acts. It also incorporates commentary from a number of sources that reveal the context and meaning behind the passage.

From the Paper:

"In chapter 9 of the book of Acts, Luke details the resurrection of a woman by the apostle Peter. This, in the broadest terms, is agreed upon by all. However, a number of more minor details are somewhat disputed, and no two translations are exactly the same. One is reminded of the childhood game "Telephone"-each player delivers their perception of the original message, and by the end of the line the original phrase has been so distorted as to be unrecognizable. While the Bible has retained, in large part, its original message, slight alterations (especially when taken as literal fact) are enough to cause disruption and division within churches. By analyzing the differing translations and meanings behind particular passages, one can come to a better understanding of the original intent."
