This book deals with the resurrection of the crucified Jesus as the focal event affecting all Christian faith and theology. With such a concentration, however, we intend neither to add another specialisation to an already over-specialised theological curriculum, nor are we trying to fit the resurrection more neatly into a theological system as one question, doctrine or scriptural theme among many. But what we do intend is to explore is the focal character of the resurrection-event for faith, and, as a consequence, the need for theology, in all its specialisations—biblical, fundamental, systematic, liturgical and moral, to be located ‘in the resurrection’, so to speak, and to proceed in its light. With that end in mind, this is not ‘new theology’ of the resurrection, building on, or in contrast to, the outstanding work of other writers. Such a vast work of synthesis and systematic construction is surely a most desirable project for the future, even if beyond our present scope. On the other hand, this book can contribute to such a task, even if in a somewhat preliminary way, as it seeks to makes theology more ‘resurrectional’ in its method, mood and content. A fresh receptivity to the act of God in raising Jesus from the dead, along with a grateful appreciation of scholarship, past and present, will point in this direction. Consequently, we hope to make a contribution to the resurrection of theology as an assured, distinctive mode of Christian rationality.
