Resurrection: Release from Oppression
"For forty years the resurrection of Jesus has been a keystone of my life and belief," declares Morton Kelsey. Until now, however, he has not attempted to articulate in a systematic way the meaning of this Christian event. What actually happened at the resurrection? Can the New Testament accounts be reconciled? And what significance should they have for us today?
As a theologian and psychologist Kelsey has brought all of his skills to bear on the story of Jesus' resurrection. For too long, Kelsey argues, Christians have focused on the passion and death of Christ because those events offered more vivid images for reflection. This book attempts to remedy that deficiency. Kelsey offers a striking and imaginative retelling of the events surrounding the resurrection. He affirms the reality of the risen Jesus in history and the power that his rising still has on people twenty centuries later.
