I Believe In The Resurrection Of Jesus

Plot

With striking clarity George Ladd faces here the central issue of Christian belief--the resurrection of Jesus. He confronts squarely the issues that have led persons to challenge the resurrection faith: the apparent differences among the accounts in the gospels, alleged disharmonies between Paul's emphasis and what the Gospels say, alternative explanations for the meteoric rise of belief in the resurrection among Jesus' followers, and finally the recurring challenge that the resurrection is simply unbelievable for modern persons. He concludes with a ringing affirmation of the meaning of Jesus' resurrection for the Christian: it is the firstfruits of his own resurrection at the end of time. -Publisher
