Easter and the belief of simple fishermen

Andrea Tornelli

Cercas built his entire novel from nearly five hundred pages, “Madman’s Madman at the end of the world”, dedicated to the journey of Pope Francis to Mongolia, about one question about the resurrection of the body. He, a writer who does not know and fight against hostility, has been transmitted for love for his sick mother and certainty that she would see her husband, dead for years. The reader must take a long and exciting trip before arrival, as in the expected final for the mystery novel, to answer.

We are on the eve of the three most important days for Christians all over the world, as we celebrate during the event that is at the origin of our faith: Jesus’ passion, death and resurrection, which occurred around the year 30 in the province of the remote and vital Roman Empire. You should stop thinking, and asking this question, fearing that we will spend the horrific news and a thousand daily concerns about the heart of the event.

The ecclesiastical gospels have not been designed in an office after centuries by religious fantasy authors or by propaganda fans of religious ideology, but are based on eyewitness testimonies. They represent a discreet story on the facts, as it is far from the miracle excitement and does not describe the moment of the resurrection. They do not tell what happened inside the grave of Jose de Arimia, “borrowed” to the grave of Nasseri. They say only what is human being and what it was witnessing: that the man, the only one in the history of humanity that identified himself “the path, truth and life”, claiming the divine nature, was brutally suspended from the reputable torture of the cross as a mood and died. His body was pulled with calf and burial with the same rush. His friends, with the exception of one – Juan – in Calvary, where women have proven that they were brave. Then, at dawn on the third day, while the Apostles remained terrified and closed in Cenacle, women discovered shocking: the empty grave and Jesus alive.

The date of the narration of the grave, as well as the story of the empty grave, is no longer regretted by serious scientists: Why did anyone invented the accusation of stealing the body if the grave was not empty? But Iman Maria Magdalina, from Pedro and John, from Thomas and other apostles is not based, nor was he based on the signs, despite the eloquent, from the empty grave and the clothes that remained sound. Absence is not enough to raise the conviction as “crazy” like the resurrection of the body that can be touched, but at the same time lives in another dimension and can cross the walls. It is true that John, who looks at the clothes of the grave, “saw and believed”, but at the origin of the faith of these twelve men lost, and that small group of women who attended Jesus’ mother under the cross, there may be just a more traumatic presence than some signs. He is the one who died, buried, and revive. And they saw him, talked to him, and touched him, they ate with him. Maria Magdalina and other women were the first witness.

There is a sensation in the origin of Christianity that cannot be explained by social groups. What can transform a small group of terrified and disappointing disciples into broadcasters who do not tire from the death of Christ and his resurrection, ready to testify for everything that they have already seen die as martyrs to tell him? What conveyed them witnessing from the beginning, in these words of Paul in the first letter to Corinthians: “I have moved, first of all, what I received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Bible, was buried and re -operated on the third day according to the Bible, and it seems that he was for CEFAS and then to Twelve. Then more than five hundred brother appeared at the same time: most of them still live, although some have already died. Then he seemed to Santiago, then to all the Apostles. ” The words that scholars consider that they were not written directly by the Messenger, but they are taken from a previous tradition dating back to thirty years of the first century of the Christian era. The Gospels, whose writing is later, is fully consistent with this synthesis of the Bacquelwal puzzle.

Jewish student Paula Friedrixen, a professor of writing at Boston University, wrote in the book “Jesus Nazareth: King of the Jews”: “I know that what they saw on their conditions was seeing.

The Patriarch at the time watched in the Venice Albino Lucyani in an unforgettable sermon from Paskua for the year 1973: “Therefore, the initial disbelief was not only Thomas, but for all the Apostles, he was in good health, strong, strong, realistic, realistic, and very realistic, as it was worrisome, that there is a large extent, which depends on the health of what, which depends on the health of what, which depends on anything, which depends on anything, which depends on anything, This depends on anything, in the event that it depends on anything.
