God really must work in mysterious ways to convince them to worship him despite their disbelief in his miracle.To those christians, raising from the grave isn't the miracle of god. I can understand, they probably have something altogether larger than zombie jesus in mind when they think of god and miracles.

Which was in a more literal sense. As in, if you were to believe the central theme of the NT. Although, Im not familiar with any specific denominations of Christianity that don't believe that Christ is the son of god and all that. It wouldn't surprise me to find out they exist but I wouldn't call them true Scotsmen..er Christians I mean.Seeing how that's what the book says. It would be akin to the plumber reference I made earlier.
"The central theme" sounds like vague cafeteria christianity to me...and that's how it sounds to the fundies too. The book says a lot of things that you probably don't believe. Doesn't keep you from considering yourself a christian, true or otherwise, right?
