Drawing upon an array of resources—ranging from historical research to postmodern trends in philosophy and theology—this comprehensive study situates the resurrection at the center of theological reflection. By examining such subjects as the Christian understanding of history, the meaning of embodiment, the structural dynamics of human violence, the gift of forgiveness, theological aesthetics, spirituality, and the evolution of Christology, this account explores the broad implications of Jesus’ resurrection for Christian imagination, discourse, and practice. This study firmly reclaims the resurrection as the basic grammar for all Christian theological reflection and self-understanding.
