In this sequel to Space, Time and Incarnation, Thomas F. Torrance sets out the biblical approach to the Resurrection in terms of the intrinsic significance of the resurrected one, Jesus; and demonstrates that the Resurrection is entirely consistent with who Jesus was and what he did. The Resurrection is thus taken realistically, and treated as of the same nature, in the integration of physical and spiritual existence, as the death of Christ. All this is elucidated in the context of modern scientific thought, in such a way as to show that far from being frightened by modern science into a compromise of the New Testament's message of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ in body, it actually allows us to take its full measure. This classic volume from one of the premier English speaking theologian of the 20th century remains an important contribution to the field of systematic theology. For this Cornerstones edition, the preface is written by Paul D. Molnar.

In this classic of modern theology T.F. Torrance demonstrates the life affirming and cataclysmic significance of the Resurrection and Ascension of Christ by focusing on the redemptive, life from death, operation of the Historical and Eschatological Jesus.

All in all, this book is as important today as when it was first published and merits wide readership. I concur that Space, Time and Resurrection is deserving of classic status. * Reading Religion *
