[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, maybe 'fact' was the wrong term. What I'm looking for is a kids book that explains the core tenets of Christianity in much the same way as what you might present information about world religions to a Christian child [/quote]

Ummm . . . Christ rising from the dead is a big part of that.  The biggest actually.   It's impossible to describe Christianity at all without using Jesus' resurrection as a central part. [/quote]

Not necessarily true.  The term "resurrection" can have many different meanings. In new-thought Christian churches for example, Christ's resurrection- his overcoming of death- is viewed metaphysically. Jesus said "these things and greater you will do". Many people interpret that to mean that we can overcome "death" and live eternally.  It's a spiritual resurrection more than a physical one.

I'm a minister and a Christian and am certainly not suggesting that new thought churches, or any other Christian church has the answer.   Only that even among Christians the birth and resurrection are interpreted in many ways.[/quote]
