About this Book

Jesus' return from the dead to resume contact with his disciples is the great unshakable reality of the ages, says Merrill C. Tenney. Dean Tenney makes a forceful case for the traditional Christian view of the Resurrection and demonstrates that Christ's conquest of death has prime significance for the spiritual and intellectual concerns of our age. His clear, well-organized presentation covers almost every aspect of this central doctrine: Pagan Myths, Hebrew Scriptures and Apocrypha; Old Testament Predictions, Evidence of the Gospels and Acts, Developing Theology of the New Testament, Emerging Creed of the Early Church, Historical Evidence for the Resurrection, Resurrection and the Nature of God, Salvation and Eschatology, What Christ's Conquering of Death Means for Humanity, How the Resurrection Can Give Meaning and Purpose to Life Today.
