A rigorous methodological critique moves step-by-step and invites the reader to question every argument raised against the claim He has risen.   Author Robert Geis asserts that the nature of evidence, its epistemological and metaphysical groundings, gives the Resurrection investigator heightened clarity with which to study Christianity''s central tenet. The Christ From Death Arisen is a valuable contribution to Resurrection scholarship that will surely deepen the area of study.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this extraordinary book, Geis takes on over a century of biblical studies. He counters the oft-repeated claim that interpretation of the Bible in the liberal, academic tradition is scientific, as he accuses academicians of anti-Christian bias. Geis uses reason, but more than that he uses a farmer-like common sense, which is often lacking in the academic world. -- Brian Welter, 29 May 2009 * The Catholic Herald, (Britain) *\u003cbr\u003e\"In the ‘Afterword’ to this monograph, Robert Geis aptly describes as ‘labyrinthine’ the path he takes as author of The Christ from Death Arisen. Completing a work of this magnitude requires a Herculean effort. Likely, only a handful of scholars in the world today have the skills that such a piece of research entails. While I am not one of them, Geis is. This work is a piece of philosophical scholarship of the highest order.” -- Dr. Peter Redpath, Full Professor of Philosophy, St. John's University, author of Masquerade of the Dream Walkers: Prophetic Theology from the Cart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1 Foreword Chapter 2 Preface Chapter 3 One: Differing Hermeneutics Part 4 I: Seeking Christ through History Chapter 5 Two: Preconceptions Against Miracles Chapter 6 Three: Explaining Away The Divine Chapter 7 Four: From Historical Criticism to Literary Chapter 8 Five: Historically Reliable Part 9 II: A Narrative Retelling Chapter 10 Six: Pilate and Caiaphas Chapter 11 Seven: The Trial of the Christ Chapter 12 Eight: Murder on a Cross Part 13 III: For the Affirmative Chapter 14 Nine: From Death Arisen Chapter 15 Afterword Chapter 16 Notes Chapter 17 Texts from the Canon Chapter 18 Index of Names Chapter 19 Index of Topics Chapter 20 About the Author","brand":"University Press of America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51037836181847,"sku":"9780761840770","price":48.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780761840770.jpg?v=1750937764","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-christ-from-death-arisen-9780761840770","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
