About the book: 2011 / Book by N.T. Wright, the greatest modern biblical scholar, allows us to comprehensively imagine how the early Christian Church thought about the resurrection as such, and what the resurrection of Christ meant for it. In the Gospels, in the letters of the Apostle Paul and the writings of early Christian apologists, the author seeks an answer to the key question, from his point of view: why Christians adopted the interpretation of the resurrection accepted in Judaism and what they brought to it. A scrupulous reading of the paradoxical, soul-stirring “Easter” chapters of the Gospel leads the researcher to another, no less difficult question: was it not because the first Christians confessed Christ as the Son of God because they saw the empty tomb and learned about His bodily resurrection? Christianity continues to testify to this day about the “resurrection challenge”, which at one time overturned all ideas about the world and God. Fundamental research by the outstanding modern biblical scholar N.T. Wright. Jesus Christ rose bodily from the dead and therefore became the Son of God for the early Christians. Is this possible? The author explores ancient beliefs associated with the posthumous fate of man: from the shadows inhabiting Homer's Hades, through Plato's hope for blissful immortality, he approaches the 1st century Greco-Roman world, which completely rejected the idea of resurrection. But there was another tradition that had its basis in the Bible, was reflected in the texts of the Qumran manuscripts and did not disappear subsequently - the belief in resurrection in Judaism. In this tradition, faith was born in an event that became the center of Christianity and turned all ideas about the world and God upside down. An achievement monumental in its scale, depth and execution ... a milestone in the scientific study of the theme of the resurrection. Gerald O'Collins, The Tablet The most grandiose apology for Easter in recent decades heritage... The Resurrection of the Son of God presents a clear and compelling story that refutes all major doubts, ancient and modern, about Easter. Richard N.
