If there's one claim at the very centre of Christianity (without which it wouldn't be Christianity) it's this: Jesus who died rose to life again. What would possess the earliest Christians to make such a extraordinary claim? Is it wishful thinking? Myth-making? Stupidity? The bold claim Easter Sunday makes is this: Jesus' bodily resurrection in history is reasonable. And if that's true, how do we respond to the reality of the risen Lord Jesus?
