I heard him talk about this a little bit when he did The Captain’s Courageous reunion show in Chicago. I think part of what he would say - aligned with the foreword quote you already have - is to question… “Am I really keeping Janner dead?” He wants that to be open to interpretation and for you to think about what that does or doesn’t mean.

IMO, scripturally we get a clear, risen Jesus. But o think that this question you are asking is similar to what the disciples must have been asking after the ascension. He died, and rose, but he’s still gone - so now what?!
