"Sandnes and Henriksen's new study makes an outstanding contribution to the essence of Christian faith: the resurrection of Jesus. This impressive work is filled with astute insights and perceptive, fresh thinking. The authors expose the weaknesses of dubious arguments, uninformed assertions, and outright ignorance of the relevant factors relating to Jewish burial practices and ideas about resurrection. Readers will also appreciate the engagement with the best of the recent scholarship concerned with the resurrection of Jesus. I highly recommend this book."
--Craig A. Evans, Houston Baptist University
"By insisting that the claim that Jesus was raised from the dead represents an abductive inference from the concrete experiences of the empty tomb and the appearances of Jesus, Sandnes and Henriksen establish the most relevant hermeneutical framework for the understanding of Jesus' resurrection. This book is a welcome contribution to the ongoing discussion about contemporary significance of the resurrection faith and its relationship to Christology and other aspects of Christian theology."
--Lidija Novakovic, Baylor University
"This superb study of resurrection by Karl Olav Sandnes and Jan-Olav Henriksen is theology at its best: based on philosophical reflections on reality, close readings of biblical texts, and a pragmatic orientation towards the Christian life, they show step by step the life-changing power of trust in the resurrection of Jesus."
--Stefan Alkier, Goethe-Universitat Frankfurt am Main
"Henriksen and Sandnes collaborate again to produce an outstanding, interdisciplinary investigation into the heart of Christian faith. Packed with exegetical and historical detail, Resurrection combines rigorous philosophical reasoning with creative theological reflection in what will be an important resource for years to come."
--Brian D. Robinette, Boston College
