    The resurrection of Jesus 1. was physical. 2. is a mystery. 3. means hope.

    I had an interesting conversation on the phone with my mother a few years ago. She told me she had been going to a Bible study at her church, led by her pastor, and he was saying that it was Jesus’ body that was raised from the dead. She has been in the church most of her life, but somehow that ...read more

One of the, a man with visual agnosia, was the origin was the book’s title, The Man who Mistook His Wife for a Hat. It’s a funny title, and kind of a funny ...read more

    What Crime Did Jesus Commit? Series

    Contributed by Rick Duncan on Mar 9, 2004
    based on 54 ratings
     | 11,129 views

It’s one reason why Mel Gibson’s film, The Passion of the Christ, is so controversial. This is a film that has had the audacity ...read more
