Overview From the "Heart of New Testament Doctrine" series, The Resurrection Volume 1 speaks on a central subject of our faith at a level intended for group study and discussion. Though a highly qualified scholar, Habermas goes directly to the important applications of the meaning of the resurrection. In this study, the Bible student will see the connection of the resurrection to other important doctrines of our faith. The centrality of the resurrection and how it relates to other basic teachings of Scripture is made clear. Seven chapters include: Focusing on the Resurrection The Resurrection as a sign for unbelievers What it means to "be raised like Jesus" The Resurrection as evidence of the truthfulness of Jesus' teaching The Resurrection as a foretaste of heaven The Resurrection and salvation How the Resurrection is at the center of New Testament theology The author speaks of resurrection from the perspective of someone that has suffered painful personal loss, something that he discusses in the text. His words are more than another study, but they reflect his own personal journey.
