The Gospel Questioning Our Assumptions

"The [statement that the tomb was empty] can be accepted as a fact only if the whole plausibility structure of contemporary Western culture is called into question. To accept it as a fact means that history has a meaning that cannot be found from any study of the regularities and recurrences of the past. It means that the whole existing order of nature and history is confronted by a new reality that gives it a new meaning"


Lesslie Newbigin, Foolishness to the Greeks, p. 62
