About this ebook
This book, by a prominent Catholic theologian, surveys current writings and debates in the area of resurrection studies. After clarifying the meaning of the claim "Jesus is risen," the author carefully investigates the New Testament testimony to the resurrection. The empty tomb and the subsequent appearances of Jesus led the first Christians to believe in the resurrection, whose sacred reality was confirmed by the descent of the Holy Spirit and the success of their mission to the world. The author then reflects on the risen Jesus as a living presence today, a presence that has inaugurated the coming transformation of human beings and their world. The author concludes by discussing the sacramental and moral implications of believing in Jesus' resurrection and hoping for our own. Book jacket.
