Resurrection and Renewal - Murray A Rae - Bog

"The most important and, indeed, exciting book on the resurrection to have emerged in half a century"In this book, Murray Rae explains that the resurrection is the turning point of history and the decisive clue to what is going on in the world. Rae investigates what it means to participate in the resurrection life made possible through encounter with the risen Lord."This is the most important and, indeed, exciting book on the resurrection to have emerged in half a century. Rigorous biblical scholarship and profound theological insight define the discussion throughout. This is obligatory reading for theologians and an ideal seminar text. But it should also be read by all those who are serious about understanding the defining affirmation at the heart of the Christian faith and its radical significance."--Alan J. Torrance, University of St. Andrews (emeritus)"In this beautifully written, biblically rooted, and theologically rich work, Rae explores the demand the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ places on scholars and Christians alike. He offers a refreshing vision for the academy and the church."--Lucy Peppiatt, Westminster Theological Centre"Resurrection and Renewal is both learned and theologically formative, even edifying, as befits theological engagement with the central claim that 'Christ is risen.'"--Joel B. Green, Fuller Theological Seminary"Written in an accessible style, this book edifies as much as it educates, reminding and demonstrating to readers that the resurrection of Jesus has truly changed everything."--Christa L. McKirland, Carey Baptist College; executive director, Logia International"Accepting Rae's invitation to read this book not as an apologetic for the resurrection but as an exercise in faith seeking understanding, one is treated handsomely to biblical exegesis and theology that resonate with the practice of the theological interpretation of Scripture."--Edmund Fong, Trinity Theological College
