THE DRIVING FORCE OF THE RESURRECTION
“I do not want to minimize the character of the historic mucleus from which Christianity sprang, but, seriously, does this rather heterogeneous body of simple folk, reeling under the shock of the Crucifixion, the utter degradation and death of their leader, look like the driving force we require? Frankly it does not, and the more we think of it disintergrating under the crisis the less can we imagine it rewelding into that molten focus which achieved those results. Yet the clear evidence of history is that it did. Something came into the lives of these very simple and ordinary people which transformed them out of all similitude to the broken and shattered party of Jesus which we have recently been studying.” Frank Morrison, Who Moved the Stone, pg. 104
