Saving Jesus Redux: Resurrection

This coming Sunday Julie Wade will lead the Forum as we look at the historicity of the resurrection as told in the Bible.


“The emphasis upon the tomb really being empty that’s made by some Christians and the emphasis that Jesus rose in a physical, bodily way from the dead is really a distraction.”
—Marcus Borg, Living the Questions

From the text:
"It’s not difficult to imagine a parishioner approaching a pastor after a Bible study comparing the Gospels and saying, “I’m so relieved to know that I’m not crazy. Every Easter when the story was different I thought it was me—I thought I just had a really bad memory.” Nope. Your memory is fine. You’ve just stumbled upon a topic that isn’t discussed in polite company: the
inconvenient fact that none of the Gospels agree on what happened on Easter morning."

Please join us for and engaging session of alert minds. Superb, loving childcare is provided.
