This series is exciting! Had I been planning this series I might have overlooked resurrection getting one of the slots in it, but after seeing this title it makes perfect sense. Brannon makes his case for Resurrection being one of the “essential” themes of biblical theology. His fleshing out the link to Creation and Redemption only strengthen his case.

The book is clear and clear-headed. He is quite convincing in driving home his premise. Besides his love of quoting obscure lyrics of (popular?…I guess) music, he succeeds across the board.

To grasp resurrection he grapples with life and death. Relating that to Creation and the Fall was the proper foundation while building with redemption (New Creation) and Resurrection (Eternal Life) was the right edifice to build upon it. A lot has been written on these themes but his niche is a clarity that comes from a careful presentation.

He also traces his theme to good effect in biblical order. Watching a doctrine develop progressively is one of the best ways to take it in.

As you can imagine, he address Christ’s resurrection and does so by building into his rich tapestry. From there he weaves in the church before reaching our final resurrection.

What’s amazing in a book like this is taking one doctrine to examine them all. Biblical theology is really rocking when that really happens. It happens here.

I received this book free from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.
