A Resurrection Gospel

The Christian gospel is good news precisely because it proclaims Christ's victory over death. A resurrection motif runs through every part of the apostolic gospel like a golden thread that ties a garment together. As he works his way through the primary resurrection passages in God's word Joe Holder explains how the literal historical fact of Christ's resurrection underpins not only the Biblical doctrine of salvation but also the doctrine of the end-times as well as its teaching on Christian ethics. In a word Biblical eschatology does not have to be as complicated as some teachers make it. Biblical teaching on the end-times in fact is marked by a refreshing simplicity by virtue of the centrality of the bodily resurrection of the dead. The good news of the gospel is Because He lives we shall live also!
