“The New Testament emphasizes that the experience of the resurrection was open not just to first believers but to all new-comers. Such is the case with Saul of Tarsus who came to realize that in persecuting the followers of the Way he was touching the very person of Jesus. This means that for all generations, including ours, the resurrection is not a truth handed on to us by others; it’s a matter of direct experience.” (Monica Hellwig)
