Re: Essay about errancy

I will respond by saying that I do not believe in a physical resurrection
but rather a bodily one. In that Jesus left behind an empty tomb as a
transformed body. I think Tom Wright would agree with me on that and it is
mpore accord with the New Testament than a physical one , which David
Jenkins Bish of Durham in the 80s rightly called a conjuring trick with
bones
