Is the Risen Lord a literal history?

Now before you jump on me for this question...hear me out. I believe in the literal resurrection of Christ as both history and fulfillment of OT prophecy. However, in seminary I found many who did not. It is called the "Process Theology" movement and comes to some degree from the "In Search of the Historical Jesus" movement.

I am asking for thoughts on this movement and how to address questions by parishioners and others who ask me as a pastor how to respond to those who challenge them on their historical beliefs of Christ in light of this movement.

Many of them think this is new and do not realize it has been around since the late 19th and early 20th century ... the SFTHJ movement, I mean. The literal resurrection has, of course, been challenged off and on since the resurrection!

Blessings to all. I just want to stimulate good conversation that helps us all speak with love to those who simply are struggling to know Christ as both Spirit and literal God-with-us.

Well...that is the short answer, Dundeal. But while that is exactly what we as Christians would say to one another...it is not enough for the average new or non Christian. I am not after pat answers. I am after deeper thoughts that might encourage the new or non Christian to read on and look for answers.

I appreciate your reply, though.

God bless,
