If Christ had not risen from the dead, if God's plan for redemption had ended at the cross, what would our faith look like? Have we become so fixated on the cross that we have lost an understanding of the centrality of the resurrection? And if we ignore the resurrection, what effect does that have on our worldview, our evangelism and our Christian practice?
In this book, the authors explore how the resurrection of Christ has been understood in times past and restore this linchpin doctrine to its rightful place as the basis of our hope, our world view and the way we live our lives.
They contrast Christianity's unique understanding of resurrection to that of other world religions, explore why the resurrection connects so readily with the human psyche and trace themes of resurrection through movies, books, music and other aspects of popular culture.
Pastors, teachers, students and anyone involved in ministry will benefit from this insightful and engaging treatment of Christianity's most important doctrine.
