Sermon
Holy Week and Easter can pose many questions for those who read the Bible from a progressive viewpoint. Did Jesus physically rise in a miraculous resuscitation on the third day after his death? Was the holy temple curtain literally torn in two from top to bottom at the moment Jesus died? Did the whole earth shake, and the rocks split? Were “the Jews” to blame for the death of Jesus as John’s gospel implies? After his death, did the bodies of many dead saints rise up from their tombs and flood Jerusalem appearing to many as Matthew’s gospel proclaims?
