The Resurrection Effect: Transforming Christian Life and Thought

by Anthony J. Kelly

Anthony J. Kelly, a Redemptorist priest, is Professor of Theology at the Australian Catholic UniversityAnthony J. Kelly is Professor of Theology at the Australian Catholic University."Anthony Kelly, argues that theology depends on the resurrection of Christ for its methods and themes, for "Unless that happened, hope would be a repressive optimism, or an accommodation to routine despair. " The resurrection, like a work of art, Kelly shows, eludes any single point of view. As the key to God's relationship to Jesus and ourselves, it provides the most critical horizon from which to grasp life, its pattern, and what we can hope for from God who raised Jesus from the dead."--BOOK JACKET.
