Zusammenfassung:
This text develops a 'pure theory' of religion comparable to the pure theory of mathematics. It does so by focusing on the miracle of Christ's Resurrection from the dead on the Third Day; either outright & explicitly, or implicitly, in reflections & thought experiments made with historical thinkers, like Saint Augustine of Hippo & Ludwig Wittgenstein, for whom this miracle was central & true. Working with thinkers such as these is essential, because the miracle of the Third Day is simply not conceivable apart from those 'for whom it is central & true.' Conventional wisdom has said that this makes it untrustworthy, as though it were a figment of the imagination, & as though it were more important that something happened, or not, than that people believe it to have happened. This book focuses on the latter, & it is in this sense that the treatment of religion offered here moves within the realm of the "purely theoretical.'
