From a blog post outlining why the author believes that the Resurrection happened in some form or another.
[T]he dialectic to be found in the cross and the resurrection presents the best response to the question of theodicy that I have encountered (or the “open wound of life” as Moltmann called it). In the cross, Christ is an innocent person being executed, a man abandoned by his friends and utterly forsaken by God. But the resurrection is God’s response. Christ is vindicated by God and installed as lord and judge over all. It instills hope for the future regarding the open wound of life.
