"Culturally speaking, the Christian religion is one of those subjects about which it is cool to be ignorant."

"If a corpse clearly marked 'Jesus of Nazareth' turned up, I should save myself a lot of trouble and become a Quaker."

"I have never quite managed to see how we can make sense of the sacramental life of the Church without a theology of the risen body; and I have never managed to see how to put together such a theology without belief in the empty tomb.  If a corpse clearly marked 'Jesus of Nazareth' turned up, I should save myself a lot of trouble and become a Quaker."

     This is of course unfair to the evangelical tradition at least.
