Editor Gavin D'Costa's Resurrection Reconsidered is certain to add a new dimension to the quest for the historical Jesus. A group of essays by well-known biblical scholars and theologians, including Jurgen Moltmann, Wolfhart Pannenberg and Dan Cohn-Sherbok, raise penetrating questions about the nature of Jesus' resurrection as well as about the meaning this event has for other religions in the world. This single-volume collection offers a helpful and accessible introduction to the major issues in the contemporary conversation about Jesus' resurrection.
