Mark here is an excerpt from the tibune story:
The next morning over coffee, Wright was
asked if he knew of any other case of
bodily resurrection other than Jesus.
"No," he answered, "but as (German
theologian Wolfhart) Pannenberg put it,
'There will be many other examples to
follow,' " a reference to the Christian hope
of a general resurrection of the dead.
Here again, Borg was more liberal, noting
that it would be hard for those who had
died in a fire, for instance, to be divinely
"reassembled" simply to conform to the
narrow expectations of literalists. What too,
Borg wondered, does such a literal notion
of general resurrection do to cremation?
For scholars the answer isn't correct so I do not think much of it. If you read Matthew it tells that after the crucifixion saints were raised out of the grave.
For my part they are both fiction of the Roman interpretation of myth. |
