...traditional Christian, no miracle is more important than the Resurrection, the event that lies at the heart of the faith, containing within it the promise of eternal life. "If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith is in vain," Paul wrote to the Corinthians. But it was St. Augustine who observed that "on no point does the Christian faith encounter more opposition than on the resurrection of the body."

In the hands of a lesser artist, the song could easily have degenerated into imitation-reggae drivel, but Lennox handles this material expertly. She completely recreates the song without losing sight of the original spare, beautiful Marley melody. Lennox's funky bass-driven version of "Train In Vain" also shows her gift for creative interpretation. She remains faithful to the original Clash tune, even as she adds her own brand...
