Page "Resurrection of Jesus" Paragraph 71

According to international scholar Thorwald Lorenzen, the first Easter led to a shift in emphasis from faith " in God " to faith " in Christ.

" Today, Lorenzen finds " a strange silence about the resurrection in many pulpits.

" He writes that among some Christians, ministers and professors, it seems to have to have become " a cause for embarrassment or the topic of apologetics.

" It has been argued that many Christians neglect the resurrection because of their understandable pre-occupation with the Cross.

However, the belief in Jesus ' physical resurrection remains the single doctrine most accepted by Christians of all denominational backgrounds.
