Synopsis
Geering considers what has been said in support of traditional views, and why some scholars fail to find them convincing. He discusses ancient myths of the "dying and rising god"; of resurrection as the hope for national renewal; and how belief in some form of life after death is universal.For Geering, resurrection is a hope for the world in which we live, a hope for the meaning of life, and a hope that when our conscious existence is ended, the historical life we have lived may be validated as being of some value for whatever the eternal Kingdom is.Book Details
