%X This essay discusses some apocalyptic perspectives on Luke¡¯s portrayal of the resurrection as Christ¡¯s entry into his glory (Lk. 24:26) in order to point out its mystical nature. After a discussion of some recent developments in research on Luke¡¯s Christology and apocalyptic literature, the importance of glory in Early Jewish and Christian apocalypses is discussed. This is followed by an explanation of the glory motif in Luke 24:26, its place in Luke¡¯s resurrection account in general and in the story of the disciples of Emmaus in particular. The essay then compares the mystical use of the glory motif in Luke 24:26 with Luke¡¯s use of glory elsewhere in his writings. It concludes with general remarks about the mystical nature of the resurrection in Luke¡¯s writings.
