Jesus rose from the dead, he was raised from the dead - this is the basic confession of the Christian faith. How is this faith expressed? Is it an illusion or a reality? What is its theological meaning?

The online course works with numerous tasks and test tools that you can work on independently. You are guided through the programme and work on the tasks.
