ST III, q. 54
Of the Quality of Christ Rising Again
We have now to consider the quality of the rising Christ, which presents four points of inquiry:
(1) Whether Christ had a true body after His Resurrection?
(2) Whether He rose with His complete body?
(3) Whether His was a glorified body?
(4) Of the scars which showed in His body.
Articles
- a. 1Whether Christ had a true body after His Resurrection?
- a. 2Whether Christ's body rose glorified? [*Some editions give this article as the third, following the order of the introduction to the question. But this is evident from the first sentence of the body of A[3] (A[2] in the aforesaid editions), that the order of the Leonine edition is correct.]
- a. 3Whether Christ's body rose again entire?
- a. 4Whether Christ's body ought to have risen with its scars?
