Dramatically illuminated by a series of fine art paintings, Alister McGrath's new volume seeks to engage both the mind and the imagination as he explores the great and extraordinary affirmation: 'Christ is risen!' Poetry, prayer, and theological reflection are interwoven with commentary on the ideas conveyed through works such as Maurice Denis's Holy Women at the Tomb, He Qi's On the Road to Emmaus, Guercino's Incredulity of St. Thomas, and William Blake's River of Life. The result not only increases our understanding of the vital connection between the resurrection of the Son of God and the transformation of human existence, but also helps us to trust in the security of Christ's grasp on our lives, as he daily sustains us by his love and power.

Oxford University's McGrath has distinguished himself not just as a historical theologian, but as a generous and witty writer who brings life to topics that would turn dust in others' hands... --Publishers Weekly

Outstanding,
By Rev. Ann (Vancouver, WA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Resurrection (Truth and Imagination) (Hardcover)
Alister McGrath has done it again. All of the books in his "Truth and Imagination Series" are creative, and theologically orthodox. Alister uses art from various periods to interact with his writings on the various subjects. They will touch the hearts of all people of faith or no faith. they will bring new ways of thinking about old subjects to the more mature faith filled people. A wonderful, innovative teacher and author. Read, mark and inwardly digest. Rev. Ann
