A Universalist Perspective on Easter
(Cover image for this post is “And He Rose: The Resurrection” by Vincent Barzoni.) Note: When I use the terms “univeralist” and “universalism,” I’m talking about the concept of underlying themes or principles that all religions share in common, and the idea that these common themes are more important than surface-level differences.
