"He defends the confession as not being about a pure spiritual body, but involving a transfomation of a real body into a spiritual body." What does "a trasformation of a real body into a spiritual body" mean? Does this mean that Hengel understands Jesus to have been resurrected with a real, physical, and also spiritual body? Or, put another way, does he mean that Jesus was resurrected as a spirit? Or is "spiritual" not in opposition to physical?

Does Hengel bring a new argument to the academic table, or does he bolster already existing arguments?

I appreciate his observation about the reason why the women were left out of the list of people who saw Jesus.
