It's great material for a small group to explore the great themes of God's redemption in the life of a believer. I enjoyed the clear and compelling voice it gives to those whose lives need to bring to center-stage the work of Jesus Christ at the Cross and His glorious resurrection. The material is thoroughly Biblical but also very practical. I believe it will bless any individual or group wanting to draw nearer to Jesus Christ." - Dr. Larry Vold, Senior Pastor, 3Crosses Church, Castro Valley, California** "Resurrecting Grace is an inspiring and thought provoking Bible study series. Moreover, this series is full of nuggets of truth about God's grace and love for mankind. After each session I was left with wanting to know more and more about God's grace. I was moved by how Steve takes us on the journey with Christ after He is crucified to rising from the grave and to finally sitting down on the right hand of God the Father. This study was a refreshing reminder of how good God has been to us and that we should go out and to tell others. I highly recommend this study for everyone." - Vance Hunter, Pastor of Hospitality & Care Ministries, 3Crosses Church, Castro Valley, CaliforniaABOUT THE SERIESUnderstand God's grace that led Jesus to the cross in this fresh walk through the Easter story and the grace of Ephesians Chapter 2. You will enjoy this 5-session Bible study series developed for small groups and church communities. You will experience a deeper and richer Easter.Jesus was laid to rest in a tomb of honor, but it was not honor that brought Him there. The death of Jesus was not a death of honor, but one of mockery, deceit, divisiveness, lies, misunderstanding, pain... The list goes on. Sure, there were tears, there was devotion, but only from a few, and in the end, not even from His closest followers. But Jesus knew this would happen...ahead of time. It was all part of His grace-filled plan.This study illustrates the grace of God in the chronology of events that follow the crucifixion of Jesus: from His tomb, to His many appearances, to his exaltation to the right hand of the Father. Grace is demonstrated in each of 5 movements that occur after Jesus died on the cross.

Book excerpt: During the late second and early third centuries C.E. the resurrection became a central question for intellectual commentary, with increasingly tense divisions between those who interpreted the resurrection as a bodily experience and those who did not. The relationship between the resurrected person and their mortal flesh was also a key point of discussion, especially in regards to sexual desires, body parts, and practices. Early Christians struggled to articulate how and why these bodily features related to the imagined resurrected self. The problems posed by the resurrection thus provoked theological analysis of the mortal body, sexual desire and gender. Resurrecting Parts is the first study to examine the place of gender and sexuality in early Christian debates on the nature of resurrection, investigating how the resurrected body has been interpreted by writers of this period in order to address the nature of sexuality and sexual difference. In particular, Petrey considers the instability of early Christian attempts to separate maleness and femaleness. Bodily parts commonly signified sexual difference, yet it was widely thought that future resurrected bodies would not experience desire or reproduction. In the absence of sexuality, this insistence on difference became difficult to maintain. To achieve a common, shared identity and status for the resurrected body that nevertheless preserved sexual difference, treatises on the resurrection found it necessary to explain how and in what way these parts would be transformed in the resurrection, shedding all associations with sexual desires, acts, and reproduction. Exploring a range of early Christian sources, from the Greek and Latin fathers to the authors of the Nag Hammadi writings, Resurrecting Parts is a fascinating resource for scholars interested in gender and sexuality in classical antiquity, early Christianity, asceticism, and, of course, the resurrection and the body.

Book excerpt: The author of the highly praised memoir Things Seen and Unseen now bears witness to the way death yields new life as she searches for direction in the wake of her brother's death. “Honest and human and surprisingly humorous in its clarity of vision.” —The Washington Post Book Review In her memoir Things Seen and Unseen, Nora Gallagher reflected on a year of spiritual renewal and the fact of mortality with uncommon wisdom and grace. We rejoin her in Practicing Resurrection. A desire to reclaim her own “wild life” and a sense of the sacred in the world compels her to assess everything: her marriage, her writing career, and her commitment to parish life. A profound testimony to the urgency of living with meaning, to the natural world’s solace and sacredness and a beautiful and often harrowing account of the search for vocation. Gallagher

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Next to the miracle of salvation, the resurrection is the most exciting, the most thrilling, and the most glorious of all doctrines in the Word of God. Why? Because as mortals, we carry inside of us the dread of death. Inevitably, death comes to us and to our loved ones and when it does, we need a living faith. That’s why, when Martha stood at her brother’s gravesite, Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life.” And the great truth on resurrection, as relayed by the apostle Paul, has brought more comfort to mourners than any human words ever written. In this anointed book, Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart reveals the power of Christ’s resurrection which enables every believer, and His church, to rise again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though bringing people to new birth in Christ through evangelism is essential, says Peterson, isn't it obvious that growth in Christ is equally essential? Yet the American church does not treat Christian growth and character formation with equivalent urgency. We are generally uneasy with the quiet, obscure conditions in which growth takes place, and building maturity in Christ too often gets relegated to footnote status in the text of our lives. In Practice Resurrection Peterson brings the voice of Scripture -- especially Paul's letter to the Ephesians -- and the voice of the contemporary Christian congregation together to unpack what it means to fully grow up "to the stature of Christ." Peterson's robust discussion will move readers to restore transformed Christian character to the center of their lives. This helpful study guide is designed to enable small groups in schools or churches -- or even individuals -- to delve deeper into the timely wisdom of Practice Resurrection: A Conversation on Growing Up in Christ. Peter Santucci here breaks up Peterson's book into thirteen "sessions," each of which contains a summary, select quotes to consider, questions for interaction, and a prayer drawn from the text of Ephesians that is covered in the corresponding book chapter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian faith depends upon the resurrection of Jesus, but the claim about Jesus’ resurrection is, nevertheless, disputed. This book, written by a New Testament scholar and a systematic theologian in conjunction, develops the conditions for the claim. It carefully analyzes the relevant texts and their possible interpretations and engages with New Testament scholarship in order to show nuances and different trajectories in the material. The picture emerging is that the New Testament authors themselves tried to come to terms with how to understand the claim that Jesus had been resurrected from the dead. But the book does not stop there: by also asking for the experiential content that gave rise to the belief in the resurrection. Sandnes and Henriksen argue that there is no such thing as an experience of the resurrection reported in the New Testament—only experiences of an empty tomb and appearance of Jesus, interpreted as Jesus resurrected. Hence, resurrection emerges as an interpretative category for post-Easter experiences, and is only understandable in light of the full content of Jesus’ ministry and its context.

Book excerpt: Sometimes, grace gets messy. Caleb Kaltenbach was raised by LGBT parents, marched in gay pride parades as a youngster, and experienced firsthand the hatred and bitterness of some Christians toward his family. But then Caleb surprised everyone, including himself, by becoming a Christian…and a pastor. Very few issues in Christianity are as divisive as the acceptance of the LGBT community in the church. As a pastor and as a person with beloved family members living a gay lifestyle, Caleb had to face this issue with courage and grace. Messy Grace shows us that Jesus’s command to “love your neighbor as yourself” doesn’t have an exception clause for a gay “neighbor”—or for that matter, any other “neighbor” we might find it hard to relate to. Jesus was able to love these people and yet still hold on to his beliefs. So can you. Even when it’s messy. “Messy Grace is an important contribution to the conversation about sexual identity for churches and leaders. Caleb's story is surprising and unique, and he weaves it together compellingly. He states his views clearly, leaves room for disagreement, and champions love no matter where you are in this conversation.” —Jud Wilhite, Sr. Pastor, Central Christian Church

Book excerpt: "Over the past sixty years, within the analytic tradition of philosophy, there has been a significant revival of interest in the philosophy of religion. More recently, philosophers of religion have turned in a more self-consciously interdisciplinary direction, with special focus on topics that have traditionally been the provenance of systematic theologians. The present anthology aims to bring together some of the most important essays on six central topics in recent philosophical theology. Volume 1 collects essays on three distinctively Christian doctrines: trinity, incarnation, and atonement. Volume 2 focuses on three topics that arise in all the major theistic religions: providence, resurrection, and scripture." --Book Jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we practice hope after trauma? What shape does hope take after abuse? In grappling with these questions, Ashley E. Theuring implicates the entire church and advocates changing our theologies of hope and our understanding of resurrection. Reimagining the Empty Tomb narrative from the Gospel of Mark in light of the experiences of domestic violence survivors, Fragile Resurrection reveals the possibility for everyday practices and relationships to mediate hope and resurrection. Theuring constructs an embodied imaginative hope found in the wake of trauma, which can speak to our current context of trauma and uncertainty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karl Barth repeatedly spoke of the centrality and unparalleled significance of the resurrection of Jesus Christ for his theological understanding, yet a clear grasp of its nature and scope in Barth continues to find little expression in scholarly literature. This book seeks to draw out the theological substance and systematic implications of Barth's thinking on this theme. Barth's mature understanding of the resurrection concentrates upon the transition from the objective achievement of reconciliation culminating in the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ to its subjective appropriation in the life of the believer, all within a thoroughly christological context. The resurrection may be described as the way of the crucified Lord to others, and is, for Barth, the essential and efficient link between christology proper and the extension of Christ's saving work to others.
