“If Christ is Preached as Raised from the Dead…”
Studies in Honour of Riemer Roukema on the Occasion of His Retirement
Edited by P.J. van Egmond Edited by J. Krans Edited by J.M. Tanja
The focus of this volume is Paul’s famous discussion of the resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15 and the resurrection of the dead as a broader biblical and theological theme. The topics of its 23 articles range from the roots of belief in the resurrection in the Hebrew Bible, through rabbinic concerns and New Testament statements, to later reception and theological development in early Christianity and beyond. Honouring Riemer Roukema on the occasion of his retirement, this collection reflects the research areas to which he contributed during his academic career but also touches on everyday faith in the churches he sought to serve. The volume consists of three parts: (1) Hebrew Bible and Jewish tradition; (2) 1 Corinthians 15 and the New Testament; (3) biblical reception and theological developments. As an epilogue, it closes with a sermon on 1 Corinthians 15:1–11 preached by Riemer Roukema in the Groningen academy chapel.
