Summary: the purpose of resurrection
Review: Sorry, but while reading through this book in search of some commentary on the purpose of the resurrection, I found it lacking. The Lord is the resurrection, and His resurrection was the beginning of the release of His divine life into His believers. He came back and breathed Himself into His disciples and a short time later, Peter speaks a weighty word on the day of Pentecost. Why, because the Lord resurrected and dispensed His divine life and nature into Peter. His plan is to get Himself into His chosen and redeemed...we don't need to "convince" others that He resurrected, He is the resurrection, the reality, and the life, and no one else is. I felt cheated while reading through the book, and by the way, the Lord doesn't care about us having our resuscitated pets with us in "heaven", He is preparing an abode for us to be in Him without soulish pets around...may the Lord be merciful to this author and give him revelation about this matter of resurrection...there are others who have spoken a much clearer word about this matter, save your money and look elsewhere...

Summary: Good logical summary of evidence concerning the resurrection
Review: The book is geared toward answering difficult questions regarding Christ's resurrection and the afterlife. In the first 64 pages Hanegraaff defends the resurrection of Christ with valid logic and a moderate amount of historical and archaeological evidence. For a more detailed account of the evidence concerning the resurrection of Christ I would recommend "A Case for Christ" by Lee Strobel or "Jesus- the Great Debate" by Dr. Grant R. Jeffrey. The next 30 pages present a defense of an afterlife where souls live for eternity. I found this section to be groundbreaking- new and unique thought in an area not often covered. The remainder of the book (186 pages) presents answers to questions about the afterlife. The questions are often asked and thought about, but I have not yet heard definitive answers as Hanegraaff gives here. Overall it is good reading and a very enjoyable book. Critics and Christians alike may find Hanegraaff's book interesting at the least. I thought it was well worth my money. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Moderate Considerative
Review: This book 'The Resurrection'..The 'Title is a way off does not specify "The Resurrection of 'Whom' what, who? quite misleading in the 'Title' This book contains a paraphrase legalistic view of someone? by the name of Jesus Christ (inside the book) who is this someone? Popularistic homogenous personality of the AD;s Era, who resurrected in an abnormal manner, irrational or modelistic super natural sensationalism? This unequal phenomenon of th AD ERA DOES not quite interpret an invasion of ethiologial or methodolagical interpretation in any form or manner. Precautiosly, Hank H. (The author) of this 'strange' book, depicts a man 2thous years ago who was a 'super-artistic' human walking around the earth realm announcing and denouncing his own fate, then 'resurrects' from the dead? quite symbolic and quite 'phenomenal', however, Hank H. (The author) does not quite inscripts the powers involving this 'Super-Natural' Heroes of the other decades and eras AD. The author needs more research inside this man called 'Jesus-Christ', how a super-natural power 'Raised' him and made him a 'normal' human again. This Jesus Christ, Hank portrays, has to have an incontrollable humanistic inside his 'human' potentials, physically, a human-being' after burial cannot in any form or manner resurrect from the grave. Hank H. (The author) does not specify in detail 'Who resurrected him' Was the power on the skies, ..like Imentioned in my first review 'THE BIG BANG? " RESURRECTED this powerful created who inhabitted the 'Earth' 2 thous years ago? If Hank analyzes this 'resurrection' power inside the 'Einstein' Theory' or the 'Carl Sagan' Theory ' Relativity, and 'rational - irrational ' Theory of both Scientists. Hank H. (The author) imiplies about the 'myths' and other man made theories...Hank H. (The author) ..does not quite interprets the nature of this 'human' called Jesus Christ in the humanistic form..or other/ super-=natural-instics of a super-naturla power involved.End*******

Summary: Why the resurrection is not just history
Review: This book brings alive the truth and wonder of the resurrection, which is both essential Christian doctrine and indisputable fact of history. While the book reflects historic theology, it is refreshingly free of dense vocabulary and complicated polemics. Hanegraaff's trademark style combining clear prose and packets of memorable concepts will equip Christians to know what the Bible teaches about the resurrection and life after death and to trust God for our eternal life in His Son. It will also challenge non-believers to assent to one of the best-attested facts in all of human history.

Summary: I was pleasantly surprised.
Review: When I was handed this book by a devout evangelical friend, I was a bit skeptical that he was doing so in an effort to "witness" me and my Catholic faith. Soon after getting into this, I realized that the subject matter at hand was instead something dear to both of us (and to all of us united in Christ). Since that time, I have become somewhat of an admirer of Hank Hannegraff. His sincerity and charity, even in points of disagreements, are true models of what the Church should look like. That being said, there was almost nothing in this book that I disagreed with. As a matter of fact, it was literally FULL of positive citations from Catholic sources (Summa Theologica by Thomas Aquinas, several different works by Peter Kreeft, St. Augustine, St. Jerome, etc). Theologically, he does an admirable job in offering his apology for the doctrine of the resurrection. On the theological side, I applaud him for emphasizing the importance this event has on the Christian faith. I hope that modernists and liberals take notice of the fact that if they reject this doctrine, they reject their entire faith, as Paul so clearly said. The reasons that Paul said this make total sense after reading this book. Concerning historicity, the book is slightly weaker, though he does raise some very valid and thought provoking philosophical and probable arguments in favor of the resurrection. While not bound to convince well informed skeptics, it will serve as an excellent starting point for those skeptics who may be persuaded to dig a little deeper into the subject. For those who have already been bestowed with the gift of grace, it will serve to deepen their convictions, and grow in their walk with God. The last section, the Q&A section, was well written, as one would expect from the "Bible Answer Man." He covers a lot of great questions, again basing some of his answers on one of my favorite Catholic writers, Peter Kreeft (the work that Hank often cites, "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Heaven, but Never Dreamed of Asking" is a very worthwhile and informative read. The only part I "object" to was a very brief treatise on sotierology :) Other than that, I really enjoyed this book.
