The Resurrection
Description
Encounter one of the greatest works of Catholic biblical scholarship ever written—a timeless study of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ that continues to shape theologians, scripture scholars, priests, and serious Bible readers.
Praised by generations of theologians and experiencing a renewed surge of interest among today’s readers, The Resurrection: A Biblical Study by F. X. Durrwell, CSsR, remains one of the most influential books ever written on the Resurrection of Christ. Easter is not simply the conclusion of salvation history—it is the beginning.
Drawing from the gospels, the Pauline letters, and other books of the New Testament, renowned theologian and priest F. X. Durrwell reveals how the Resurrection of Jesus Christ illuminates the mystery of his Incarnation, Death, and Ascension while revealing God’'s plan of salvation through the Holy Spirit.
Readers of this classic work of Catholic theology will discover
- a comprehensive biblical study of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ;
- fresh insights into Easter through a deeper understanding of Christ’s Death, Resurrection, and saving mission;
- rich connections between scripture, Catholic theology, the sacraments, and Christian discipleship; and
- an essential resource for Bible study, theological education, priests, seminarians, teachers, and serious Christian readers.
More than an academic Bible study, this landmark work of biblical theology demonstrates how Christ’s Resurrection establishes his lordship, fulfills his priesthood, and becomes the source of the Church’s sacramental life, Christian holiness, and missionary mission.
Written with scholarly depth yet remarkable clarity, The Resurrection has become a foundational resource for anyone seeking to understand the integral relationship between Christ’s Death and Resurrection.
This enduring classic—recently rediscovered by a new generation of readers—reflects the vision of biblical theology later championed by Pope Benedict XVI, bringing together scripture, theology, and spiritual insight in a way few books have matched.
The Resurrection: A Biblical Study is an enduring and important work of Catholic biblical scholarship for anyone studying scripture, teaching theology, preparing for Easter, or seeking a deeper understanding of Christ’s Resurrection.
