About this book
In The Power of the Resurrected Body the journey from ancient Jewish beliefs to modern Christian understandings of the afterlife is explored in depth. The book delves into the transformative promise of bodily resurrection, paralleling Jesus' own resurrection. Drawing on historical and cultural perspectives, it examines the evolving concepts of the body, from Hellenistic Judaism to post-Enlightenment Christianity. The mystery of Jesus' physical existence--his birth, death, and the empty tomb--serves as a focal point for understanding the nature of the resurrected body. Engaging with diverse viewpoints, the study highlights the significance of bodily continuity and the unique spiritual and physical dimensions of resurrection. This book offers a fresh perspective on the role of the body in the afterlife, exploring its preparation and preservation as key to eternal existence.
