Abstract : Ever since the time of Hume it has been a truism that the worldview of empirical science, and Christian assertion of the resurrection of Jesus, are antithetical to each other. Yet post‐Newtonian science, and especially quantum theory, suggests the need for a reappraisal of this truism. This reappraisal will first examine the implications of the indeterminism of the quantum world, to consider the physical possibility of Jesus’ resurrection. Second, an appraisal of the historical evidence will suggest the likelihood of Jesus’ resurrection. Finally, I will consider some implications of all this for contemporary Christian thought.
