The Resurrected Jesus: The Church in the New Testament

by David Limbaugh, Christen Limbaugh Bloom

NATIONAL BESTSELLER!The Resurrected, Conquering Jesus In the fifth and final installment of his bestselling Jesus series, David Limbaugh digs into the New Testament epistles with passion and imagination, showing that the testimony of Jesus’ earliest followers provides irrefutable proof of His resurrection. Inspired by God and penned by the apostles, the epistles were written to the first Christians to proclaim the divinity of Christ and to encourage them to persevere through persecution, famine, sickness, and doubt. On a lawyerly quest for truth, Limbaugh looks behind these biblical texts, exploring the lives of their authors, who included some of those closest to the Lord—his most intimate friends, Peter and John, and his own kinsmen James and Jude. The result is an unforgettable encounter with Jesus. The Resurrected Jesus speaks to the struggles the church faces today, strengthening believers and challenging doubters with the eyewitness accounts of the messengers who travelled far and wide to proclaim the resurrected Christ.

This book inspires me to continue to pursue and speak the truth boldly. The authors do a great job of breaking down the teachings of Paul, who is a faithful follower of Christ. The bold prayers in each chapter were my favorite as they helped me put my faith into practice. As always, every detail was supported and God's word was passionately revealed. How special and refreshing it was to read a book written by a father and daughter team.

Quick thoughts and rating for Jesus is Risen: 5 stars!

I cannot imagine how challenging it would be to tackle the voice and movement of the Apostle Paul. Christen and David did this with finesse as only talented authors could.

The unapologetically realistic delivery in this book is crucially important.

Christen and David gracefully remind us that Paul continues to emphasize that the need for Bible study, preaching, and teaching is truly inspiring and such a confirmation word these days.

The prayers provided after each chapter are life-giving water like a Spring shower.

I have actually been using this as a semi-devotional this year and have really enjoyed going through the Pauline letters again. I very much enjoyed that the authors focused strictly on the Scripture itself without adding current day anecdotal examples that we get SO OFTEN with this kind of book. I purchased this to enjoy the letters again through another set of eyes, and that is what I got. I would have given 5 stars had it gone a little deeper in culture or word study, but all in all, just what I wanted.

I was hoping for a more engaging reading of the Pauline letters. The book is thorough and detailed but after a while it does get quite dry. The great thing about Jesus and his teachings as well as Paul's letters pertaining to them, is the dynamic nature of them and how they guide us to a much better life. The book certainly would have benefited from some modern tales or at least some more modern applications other than general assertions pertaining to the sins of modernity.

If you are looking for a more clinical breakdown of the Pauline letters this is a very good book. I tend though to like my Christian books to breathe more life into the pages.

David and Christen did a phenomenal job with this book! As I was reading it, I constantly found myself being more and more in awe of who Jesus is, how His character influences everything, and what we, as the church, can continue to learn from Jesus. Also, the way that David and Christen use Paul's life and writings helps drive home the point that, because of the Holy Spirit, what we are being asked to do, as followers of Jesus, is very possible, we just have to surrender, trust, and obey.

This book refreshed my faith and is worth the read!

"The Emmaus Code" was one of the best books that I had read a few years ago, but I just couldn't get into this one. While the content was sound, the writing was dry. It read more like a high-level commentary on select Pauline epistles rather than a unified thematic work. I'll certainly utilize it again as I study the corresponding New Testament books throughout the year, but it's not the kind of book I'd recommend as light, fireplace reading.

[Janet Shepherd · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is perhaps the best book on the Apostle Paul I have ever read. This one got to me. I have never been a fan of Paul in the past, but after reading The Resurrected Jesus, I’ve done a 180 and consider Paul the greatest of all the Apostles. Paul’s unstoppable dedication to preaching the truth was all encompassing. The prayers scattered throught the book, written by David’s daughter, were thought provoking and on point and I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Slightly Disappointing

Having read David's four previous books in this series, I struggled to stay involved and absorbed. While repetition is a useful teaching tool, too much repetition is almost insulting. Periodically, the old David bleeds through. Better luck with the upcoming venture.

[The Once and Future Reader · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book.

It is a wonderful deep dive into the last letters of Paul (not including Hebrews, which I believe Paul wrote, but it's debatable). There is so much in this book in terms of context and pastoral advice and just overall Christian wellbeing, that it shouldn't be overlooked.

I would encourage every Christian to grab this book and read it alongside the Pauline epistles.

[Geoffrey Greeley · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very well done, a must read for all Christians.

[Linda · Rating 4 out of 5]

David Limbaugh and his daughter Christen analyze Paul's message in a number of his epistles. I liked the chapter-by-chapter commentary. What an amazing man Paul was by the grace of God.

The most perfect book to read during Lent


⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[Jerry · Rating 4 out of 5]

While I did enjoy the book, I think the title "The Resurrected Jesus" doesn't quite fit the contents of the book as the book summarizes Paul's last seven books. Each book is given a chapter. "The Last Years of Paul" makes more sense than "The Resurrected Jesus." Other than the strange title choice, the chapter/book summaries were alright. I learned a bit about Paul's attitude, situation, and affection for the churches and individuals to which he writes.
