The resurrection is an event of its own kind, occurring in history yet defying the current canons of the study of history; it is, in the full sense of the words, an act of God. If it did not happen, Christian faith is false and the Christian lives out a lie; since it did happen, all our standards of judgment, and we ourselves, are profoundly called into question, but Christ is fully alive, and there is hope for us who can wonder, doubt -- and believe.
James William McClendon, Jr.
(1924-2000)
