Thought
Torres Queiruga takes from Kant the idea of the imaginative mediation of religious faith : faith imagines and idealises contents that have not historically occurred.
Un his book The Resurrection without the Risen One, with Rudolph Bultmann and Hegel's Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion, denies that the Resurrection of Jesus is a miracle and a historically occurring fact:{{cite journal |language =en-UK|author=Massimo Borghesi|url=https://www.30giorni.it/articoli_id_11749_l3.htm|issue=10|year=2006|journal=30 Giorni|archive-url=https://archive.today/20250324090108/https://www.30giorni.it/articoli_id_11749_l3.htm|archive-date=March 24, 2025 |url-status=live|title=The Resurrection without the Risen One}}
{{quote|The Resurrection is not only not a miracle, but is not even an empirical event. And faith in the Resurrection does not depend on the fact of whether one accepts or rejects the historical reality of the empty tomb.|From the cover of The Resurrection without the Risen OneCited also in the Italian edition book cover: A.Torres Queiruga, La risurrezione senza miracolo, Edizioni La Meridiana, 2006. {{ISBN|9788889197738}}}}
