This third volume in N. T. Wrightβs magisterial series, Christian Origins and the Question of God
This third volume in N. T. Wright's magisterial series, Christian Origins and the Question of God, stands as a major point of reference for all students of the New Testament.
The Resurrection of the Son of God covers ancient beliefs about life after death, from Homer's Hades to ancient Jewish beliefs, and from the Bible to the Dead Sea Scrolls and beyond.
It examines early Christian beliefs about resurrection in general, and that of Jesus in particular, beginning with Paul and working through to the start of the third century.
The book explores the Easter stories of the Gospels and seeks the best historical conclusions about the empty tomb and the belief that Jesus did rise bodily from the dead.

Richard N. Ostling, Associated Press: "The most monumental defence of the Easter heritage in decades... marches through a clearly organised case confronting every major doubt about Easter."
Gerard O'Collins, The Tablet: "A monumental achievement in scope, depth and execution... a landmark in scholarly studies."
Scottish Journal of Theology praises it as a theological cathedral of historical insight and convincing exegesis, predicting it will remain a classic.
Themelios describes it as both a joy to read and an excellent model of scholarship despite its length.
The Times Literary Supplement notes Wrightβs enviable competence and lucidity in handling all evidence.
