For many Christians, believing that God raised Jesus from the dead is not the hard part of their faith, and so contemplating Jesus' resurrection is left to Easter Sunday, and studying the resurrection is left to those who wish to explore the historical evidence for it. But how exactly do we connect what happened to Jesus 2000 years ago with our lives today?
With his characteristic warmth, wit and wisdom, Rory Shiner delves into the Bible's teaching on this central yet often misunderstood topic, showing how Jesus resurrection has a profound effect on our past, our present and our future.
Surveying the historical evidence for Jesus' resurrection, Raised Forever also digs beneath the surface to show what the events of the first Easter Sunday reveal about Jesus' identity, and the extraordinary life-changing implications of the early Christian claims about Jesus. This book will open your eyes to see that the biblical teaching on the resurrection is deeper, richer, and more compelling than most of us ever imagined.
