Description

This critical study provides a book-by-book survey of every New Testament reference to the death and resurrection of Christ. Drawing on a rich arsenal of both literary and historical exegetical tools, Grayston introduces a vast range of scholarship, offers brilliant and original insights, illuminates disputed points, and portrays the distinctive features of each New Testament author's theology. In the process, he maintains that talk and thought about the death of Christ have as much to do with human problems as they have with questions of belief.
