Opis

Faith in the resurrection of Jesus Christ is absolutely central to the Christian religion. Peter Carnley deals critically with the attempts of the world's leading theologians over the past hundred years to handle the resurrection of Christ conceptually. In the second half of the book a religiously positive and constructive attempt is made to articulate a logically coherent epistemology of faith in the resurrection, which respects the authority of the scriptural traditions as they are now understood and assessed by contemporary theologians, whilst at the same time being true to the transcendental dimensions of the resurrection as a divine mystery, and to contemporary Christian experience of the Easter Christ.

`Surely...a masterpiece of Anglican theology.' (David Edwards, Church Times). Peter Carnley's book is now widely regarded as one of the most important modern studies of the resurrection. It is a comprehensive and thought-provoking critique of both theological and philosophical attempts over the last 200 years to understand this absolutely central tenet of the Christian faith. A major work of theological scholarship, the discussion also `fastens upon really vital matters of faith and experience' (Expository Times).
