THE RESURRECTION HOPE

Death has stood as humanity’s great enemy since the entrance of sin into the world. Yet throughout Scripture, God reveals a promise that death will not have the final word.Many believers live with uncertainty about death because they do not fully understand the resurrection hope revealed throughout Scripture. The Resurrection Hope explores the biblical promise that Christ has conquered death and secured the future resurrection of His people.Howard Thompson traces the doctrine of resurrection from Genesis to Revelation, examining how God progressively revealed His purpose to conquer death, redeem His people, and ultimately restore creation. From Job’s confidence beyond the grave, through the promises of the prophets, to the teachings of Jesus Christ and the witness of the Apostles, this study follows the unfolding hope of resurrection throughout Scripture.Readers will explore:• The resurrection hope revealed in the Old Testament• Christ as the firstfruits of immortality• The resurrection body and glorification• The redemption of the body and eternal life• The resurrection of the just and the unjust• The restoration of creation under the reign of Christ• God’s final victory over death, corruption, and the curseGrounded in Scripture and written for personal study, discipleship, and Christian education, The Resurrection Hope presents resurrection not merely as a future doctrine, but as the culmination of God’s redemptive purpose.Because Christ lives, the resurrection hope is certain. And because the resurrection is certain, death does not have the final word.The Resurrection Hope is Volume III of the Practical Christian Living Series.
