    Book description

    In this volume, Augustine M. Reisenauer, O.P. provides a comprehensive study of Augustine's theology of the resurrection, the human return from death to life. Contextualizing Augustine within the early Church and the intellectual and religious cultures of the late Roman Empire,he interrogates the development of Augustine's thoughts on the historical resurrection of Jesus Christ, the spiritual resurrection of the soul in time, and the fleshly resurrection of the body at the end of time.  Augustine offers profound insights into issues of personal and communal identity, human continuity and transformation, historical and eschatological events, and the God of the resurrection. He also elaborates a biblical paradigm that acknowledges how the resurrected Christ offers an intrinsic participation in his paschal mystery to the souls and bodies of the rest of humanity. Proposing fresh ideas regarding a central topic in Christian theology, Reisenauer's, study also reveals Augustine's defenses of the resurrection against its pagan, philosophical and heretical opponents.

    Reviews

    ‘An essential book on Augustine’s theology of the resurrection. [The author] succeeds brilliantly in showing the resurrection’s centrality to Augustine’s work and, more importantly, to Christian life.’

    Terence Sweeney Source: Augustiniana

    ‘… a work that will be of value to seasoned scholars as well as new students of Augustine.‘

    Richard Finn Source: The Thomist
