“The modern person can be dismayed as well as puzzled by what Paul has done. ‘None of
this happened.’ In a sense, such a sceptic, viewing matters (as Paul would say) ‘according
to the flesh’, is in the same case as the gallant modern ‘believer’ who would try to
assert--’Yes it did happen.’ Both believer and unbeliever would be trying to apply
post-Enlightenment standards of verisimilitude to stories which grew up in a different
imaginative world; and therefore the modern student of the New Testament finds herself
reduced to the absurdity of asserting the bodies really did come to life or float through the
clouds.” --A. N. Wilson “Paul: The Mind of The Apostle”
