Is this all there is?

30.00

Gerhard Lohfink, one of the foremost biblical scholars of our time, provides the fruit of a lifetime of deep theological reflection. Lohfink began his career with works on Jesus’ ascension and on the gathering of God’s people as the culmination of history. Forty years later, he brings those events together with his long-controversial thesis of ‘resurrection in death’ to speak of the death-resurrection of each of us, and all of us, in ways we can all begin to understand, offering readers a profound experience of faith and hope.

Description

2020 Catholic Press Association second place award for English translation edition

Is the Christian hope for resurrection still alive or has it become tired? How can we talk about the Resurrection today? Gerhard Lohfink takes up the question of death and resurrection in this new book. He argues against the dazzling array of today’s ideas and expectations and seeks his answers in Scripture, the Christian tradition, and human reason. With his characteristically gentle but clear language, he reveals the power of Christian resurrection, showing it is not about events that lie in the distant future but rather occurrences incomprehensively close to us. They were long since begun and they will embrace us fully in our own death..
