| Zusammenfassung: | The article concerns psychological approaches to the Resurrection of Christ, specifically whether the post-Resurrection Christophanies and angelophanies can be explained naturalistically using a relatively new theory of perception, Predictive Processing (PP). Applied to the angelophanies, a case is made for visual illusions. Explaining the Christophanies on PP as hallucinations is theoretically and practically problematic, and reasons for this are discussed. A case can be made for the phenomenon of Sense of Presence. Along with other newer theories from the psychology of grief and psychological anthropology, PP has the potential to re-invigorate discussion of naturalistic approaches to the Resurrection. |
