Hays (Ph.D., Emory University) is Dean and George Washington Ivey Professor of New Testament, Duke Divinity School. His publications include Reading the Bible Intertextually (edited with Stefan Alkier and Leroy A. Huizenga, 2009) and Revelation and the Politics of Apocalyptic Interpretation (edited with Stefan Alkier, 2012)."This work is provocative, innovative, erudite, yet replete with practical pedagogical implications, and well worth contemplating." -- Craig L Blomberg, Distinguished Professor of New Testament, Denver Seminary
"The Reality of the Resurrection is a thought-provoking work that not only makes a significant contribution to theological debates about the resurrection but also offers fresh perspectives on the relation between biblical studies and theology. Rather than attempting to fit resurrection into modernity's conceptual categories, Alkier insists on an intellectual revolution, a transformation of the mind brought about by the resurrection as a real event by the power of God. Readers of these pages will be brought into a deeper encounter with a proclamation that the Apostle Paul describes as a matter of "first importance" -- not only for the early Christian communities but also for the shaping of our communities today." -- Richard Hays, from the Foreword, Dean & George Washington Ivey Professor of New Testament, Duke Divinity School
"Stefan Alkier's theologically insightful and spiritually uplifting reflections will supply the reader with many new horizons to explore concerning the significance of Jesus' resurrection from the dead and the Christian doctrine of immortality." -- Paul Copan, Professor & Pledger Family Chair of Philosophy & Ethics, Palm Beach Atlantic University
"...excellent set of essays on the book of Revelation." --Bible Today (July 2013)
...offers a stimulating and constructive engagement with the Apocalypse. -- Grant Macaskill -- Journal for the Study of the New Testament
An important contribution to the necessary ongoing discussions of the resurrection and its significance -- Francis J. Moloney, S.D.B. -- Catholic Biblical Quarterly
Through a descriptive exegetical survey of New Testament rhetoric, Alkier locates the resurrection of the Crucified One within a distinct narrative world. He then employs the semiotics of C. S. Peirce to develop a creative epistemology that avoids propositional literalism and modernist reductionism. Alkier finally outlines how resurrection impacts Christian praxis.
The Reality of the Resurrection witnesses to that which Paul names as of ""first importance""--not only for the early Christian communities but also for the shaping of our communities today.
