A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

'To be hopeful', writes David Runcorn in the new introduction to this bestselling book, 'involves a tough engagement with life as it really is . . . And yet somehow to feel that there is something else - even though the evidence of our eyes points firmly to the contrary.’ Grief-stricken and bereft, the first disciples were in no fit state to take on board the astonishing idea that Jesus had risen from the dead. When we explore the strange cluster of stories describing the resurrection appearances, we may have much sympathy for them! And yet we cannot help but be moved by the infinite care with which Jesus reaches out to these individuals, as, through unexpected ways and meetings, he transforms a broken, dispirited and unbelieving community into a living Church. Rumours of Life remind us that the truly real is truly mysterious. It offers deep reassurance that, however difficult or confusing our present circumstances, we can have hope. For God raised Jesus Christ from the dead, and we are never alone on our personal journey to new birth in him.
