Apart from the Resurrection, it is highly unlikely that the Gospels would have ever been written and that we would know anything about Jesus of Nazareth.  As Paul makes clear in 1 Corinthians 15, apart from the Resurrection there is no Gospel to announce.  This class will attempt to explore why the Resurrection was so important to the early church and why it remains vitally important for us today.  Beginning with Gospels and then moving on to Acts, the Pauline Epistles, and concluding with Revelation, the class will consider the importance of the Resurrection for the Christian life and the mission of the Church.  The resource book for this class is Resurrection: The Origin and Goal of the Christian Life by Frank Matera.
