Recenzje

Once again Gerald O'Collins brings together his deep knowledge of Christian tradition into dialogue with the life of the contemporary Christian community. This book is first and foremost an exposition of Augustine's teaching on the resurrection of Christan oddly understudied topic. And yet O'Collins aims his ground-breaking exposition toward a modern apologetic endAugustines thoughts are drawn out as a vital resource for engaging theologically and philosophically recent critiques of the very idea of resurrection. As archaeology and as apologetic this book is a welcome contribution.
