This book shows that the resurrection is the turning point of history and the decisive clue to what is going on in the world, and investigates what it means to participate in the resurrection life made possible through encounter with the risen Lord.

The resurrection of Jesus from the dead lies at the heart of the Christian faith. It is the turning point of history, with far-reaching implications for our understanding of what God is doing in the world.

Resurrection and Renewal is a fresh contribution by an award-winning scholar to the study of Jesus's resurrection. The book is not an apologetic; rather, it takes the resurrection as a given reality and examines what the Bible says about it. Murray Rae surveys the Gospel accounts, looks at the resurrection as the fulfillment of God's Old Testament promises to Israel, and examines how the resurrection reshaped the life of the apostle Paul and informed his theology. He explores how resurrection influences our understanding of Christ, salvation, the future, mission, the church, and the unfolding purpose of history. Attention is given to its implications for Christian living and ethics, the nature of Christian community, and the promises of Christian hope. This is invigorating reading for all who desire greater understanding of participation in the resurrection life made possible through the risen Lord.

Murray A. Rae (PhD, University of London) is professor of theology at the University of Otago and an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand. He is the author of five books and has contributed to or edited many more. His scholarly interests include the work of Søren Kierkegaard, theology and architecture, Christian pacifism, biblical hermeneutics, Christian doctrine, and the development of Christian faith among the Māori people.
