Synopsis

Faith in the resurrection of Jesus Christ is absolutely central to the Christian religion. This book deals critically with some of the more serious attempts of the world's leading theologians over the past hundred years to handle the resurrection of Christ conceptually, testing for logical coherence the works of B.F. Westcott, Wolfhalt Pennenberg, Karl Barth, Rudolf Bultmann, Edward Schillebeeckx, Willi Marxsen, Geoffrey Lampe, John Knox and others. Beyond this, the book attempts to articulate-- positively and constructively--a logically coherent epistemology of faith in the resurrection of Christ, respecting the authority of the scriptural traditions as they are now understood by contemporary New Testament theologians, while remaining true to the transcendental dimensions of the resurrection as a divine mystery.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

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.
