“[The resurrection is] the beginning of the possibility of a totally new human story…It is the possibility of a…previously unimaginable human story, a re-reading of all human stories from a radical perspective that had previously been hidden…hidden by the reality of death…”
James Alison
“Now [because of Jesus’ death and resurrection] it is possible for us to live at peace, to be God’s agent of reconciliation in a violent world. We are able so to live not because we have all the answers to all the world’s troubles, but because God has given us a way to live without answers… ‘It is finished.’ But it is not over. It is not over because God made us, the church, the ‘not over.’ We are made witnesses…”
Stanley Hauerwas
