Pbm: But God Raised Him From The Dead

"'But God Raised Him from the Dead' is the first comprehensive study of Jesus' resurrection in Luke-Acts. Through wide-sweeping research and detailed exegesis, Dr. Anderson supports the claim that the resurrection of Jesus is the focus of the message of salvation in Luke-Acts. The study situates Luke's resurrection theology within Jewish and Hellenistic conceptions of the afterlife, and addresses critical questions in Lukan studies, such as the relationship between resurrection, ascension, and exaltation, and the vital linkage between Jesus' resurrection, the hope of Israel, and the final resurrection of the dead."--BOOK JACKET.

In this book, the first full-scale study of the resurrection of Jesus in Luke-Acts, Anderson situates Luke's perspective on resurrection amongst Jewish and Hellenistic conceptions of the afterlife, and within the complex of Luke's theology, christology, ecclesiology and eschatology. He argues that the resurrection of Jesus constitutes the focus of the Lukan message of salvation.
