Endnote 17 – New Testament: The Case of Mary Magdalene

E.g., “I doubt that there was an empty tomb. I doubt that anything happened to Jesus’ corpse. But … whether there was an empty tomb or whether anything happened to the corpse of Jesus has nothing to do with the truth of Easter. The truth of Easter is grounded in the ongoing experience of Jesus as a living reality in the lives of Christians” (Marcus J. Borg, reply to letter, Readers Reply, BR 10:04 [1994], pp. 47–48).
