Space, Time and Resurrection (T&T Clark Cornerstones)

by Thomas F. Torrance

This means that the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus will look very different for those who make themselves dwell in it and learn to understand what it is by participating within the circle of knowing which it sets up, and can only appear in a distorted and mutilated way to those who are not prepared to listen in to its message or to allow themselves to fall under its transforming impact. That does not mean, of course, that the evidence for the resurrection is only the evidence of 'belief', but that it is only the believer who is in a position properly to weigh up the evidence and exercise his critical capacities in a way appropriate to that into which he inquires.
