As a person who is part of the so-called "progressive" theology movement, I'm often surprised how narrow are the interpretations of the resurrection - not only by conservative Christians, but also by agnostics and atheists.
Here is a quote that caught my attention -
"My response to that question on resurrection was read by some as a propositional one, but I never said that I don’t believe in the bodily resurrection. I simply pointed out that in the Gospel of Mark there is no bodily resurrection and that the tradition has a variety of ways of thinking about resurrection. I’ve gotten responses from people who think that I’m no longer Christian because of some of the things I said. My aim was to show there is space within Christianity for myriad interpretations and existential engagements with biblical texts." - Serene Jones- President of Union Theological Seminary.
Do you think this is a fair comment?
