The Resurrection and Realism

Carl J. Welz

Many today do not believe that Christ Jesus actually rose from the grave. They regard the resurrection as a story which symbolizes the triumph of the spirit of Love which Jesus preached, but they fail to recognize the possibility of a human life restored after crucifixion, death, and burial. They believe in realism, and realism to them means that which is demonstrable today as a material phenomenon.

Christian Science accepts the resurrection of Christ Jesus as a literal fact. It insists further that, given a sufficient understanding of what really happened, we can prove that it is a fact. And an important part of what really happened was a demonstration of the nature of matter.
