“The
non-historical nature of the gospel narratives should not make us dismiss them
as inventions. It is simply the case that their way of writing a narrative is
not our way. If the authors had been inventing the whole story, they would
surely have made it more emphatic, banishing doubt.” — A.N.
Wilson, “He Is Risen!” The Financial Times, Apr. 4-5, 2015

image accompanying this post deals with the resolution of doubt: the 1602 oil
painting Doubting Thomas, by Caravaggio.)
