The Hope of the Resurrection: How Jesus's Defeat of Death Changes Everything
By Patrick Schreiner, Foreword by Gavin Ortlund
The Hope of the Resurrection: How Jesus's Defeat of Death Changes Everything
By Patrick Schreiner, Foreword by Gavin Ortlund
Examining Jesus’s Resurrection Through Three Realities: Truth, Goodness, and Beauty
Jesus’s resurrection happened centuries ago, but evidence shows it is at the center of everything that is true, good, and beautiful today. These 3 attributes—or transcendentals—provide a simple framework for understanding reality, including Christ’s victory over death and why it matters for your life.
In this approachable study, New Testament scholar Patrick Schreiner explains the history, apologetics, theology, and ethics of the resurrection. First, he examines moral arguments and the death-to-life cycles in nature that point to Christ’s resurrection. Next, Schreiner explores the theology of the empty tomb, including the new life in heaven that awaits believers. Finally, he reflects on the beautiful ways Jesus’s death validates, personalizes, and ultimately ends your suffering. You will be inspired to pursue resurrection in your own life, dying to sin to experience abundant renewal in Christ.
