The vision hypothesis is a term used to cover a range of theories that question the physical resurrection of Jesus, and suggest that sightings of a risen Jesus were visionary experiences. As the literal bodily resurrection of Jesus is a cornerstone of Christian belief, the vision hypothesis is controversial. It is not accepted by many Christians. Christian apologist scholars Gary Habermas and William Lane Craig question the vision explanations for the resurrection. However, for example, it is accepted by the Jesus Seminar.
