The Resurrection of Our Lord
Overview
For Christians, Jesus’ resurrection marks a new era in the course of human events. In this volume of lectures, professor William Milligan details everything the resurrection means. Milligan begins by analyzing the biblical and secular evidence of the Resurrection, then he addresses several objections and alternate theories. He then moves on to discuss the theological significance of the Resurrection for Christians, the church, and the rest of the world.

“They are not steps that lead us to Him; they are deductions from what we have in Him” (Page 161)
“The Resurrection of our Lord is thus the assurance to us that in the plan of our redemption mercy and truth have met together, righteousness and peace have embraced each other. The burden of sin which He bore has been cast off; and He Himself, and we in Him, are free.” (Page 157)
“the main purpose of His coming lay much deeper. It was so to bring the Divine and the human into union with one another” (Page 164)
