For many believers, the resurrection is true not because it can be proved by texts but because they feel the presence of Jesus in their lives. This is the traditional answer given by those who are unable to imagine that those same authority systems of yesterday have lost their effectiveness. The dialogue between this question and this answer reveals the problem faced by those who work for a new reformation of Christianity. They are also the victims of what can only be called historical amnesia. These leaders seem not to recognize that, as modern history has unfolded, the Bible has proven to be wrong many times.
People sometimes gasp when they hear that said out loud and in public.
The notion of wrongness and the Bible are not normally linked in print, because the church has lived with the illusion of biblical inerrancy for so long. Yet the Bible was wrong in 1215 when it was used to oppose the Magna Carta and to uphold the divine right of kings. The Bible was wrong in the 17th century when it was quoted to attack Galileo's vision of the earth turning on its axis as it moved around the sun. The Bible was wrong in the 19th century when it ridiculed Darwin in the name of the literal accuracy of the seven-day creation story found in Genesis. The Bible was wrong when it assumed that sickness was the punishment for sinfulness or that the weather patterns were the means of God's judgment.
