#390: The Risen Christ
Music composer's name is "Walter Greatorex" which I think is pretty cool--"Great" and "Rex" sounds imposing.
The imagery of Christ still being wounded after the resurrection is usually alluded to in the story of Thomas--Jesus confirms that he has a real, physical body and is not a ghost. In this case, it seems to be linked with describing the church as the body of Christ, who need to serve like he did. Which is fine, as long as you didn't claim Teresa of Ávila said so.
