Question 55 — The Manifestation of the Resurrection

We have now to consider the manifestation of the Resurrection: concerning which there are six points of inquiry:

(1) Whether Christ’s Resurrection ought to have been manifested to all men or only to some special individuals?

• (2) Whether it was fitting that they should see Him rise?
• (3) Whether He ought to have lived with the disciples after the Resurrection?
• (4) Whether it was fitting for Him to appear to the disciples in another shape?
• (5) Whether He ought to have demonstrated the Resurrection by proofs?
• (6) Of the cogency of those proofs.
