Reviews

[Scott Gregory · Rating 5 out of 5]

Meritorious as it provides summaries from solid scholars on the resurrection in the NT and elsewhere.

[David · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a very good collection of essays on the subject of the resurrection as it is found in the New Testament. In this study we receive encouragement to go out and testify to the message of the resurrection.
