Brilliant in its simplicity.
That…was catchy. Lots of truths in these few words. Thank you Dr. Samples!
This is also one of my favorite quotes.
So nothing matters?
It is an aphorism. I think what Pelikan means is that either historic Christianity is true (Christ is risen) or nihilism is true (nothingness).
