what the Resurrection story reveals about the New Covenant promised by Jeremiah and Ezekiel

the anthropology and eschatology that is operative in John’s account of the Resurrection

the distinction in John between the Glorification and the Resurrection of Jesus

Praise for the Print Edition

Schneiders’ essays offer the chance to critically and seriously engage with one gospel account of the Resurrection and also to be challenged to integrate this into a vibrant spirituality of ‘presence.’ The dynamic proclamation, ‘He is risen,’ can still resonate in Christian lives today.

Sandra Schneiders’ lifetime of work with the Gospel of John, intersecting her deep engagement with the field of hermeneutics, has produced a volume of insight into the challenges of the Resurrection of Jesus. These essays, gathered from the past few years, are freshly situated for the consideration of those interested in the crucial matter of the Resurrection of Jesus. Schneiders has anticipated the challenges of contemporaries and presented the issues to us in most provocative and helpful terms. This book is a must-read for any Christian seeking postmodern engagement with this most central mystery of Christianity.

This book is truly a treasure. For the past decade, Sandra Schneiders has been sharing her profound insights into the Gospel of John with disparate groups through various lectures and articles. Here she gathers this wisdom into one volume, providing an indispensable resource for preachers, teachers, scholars, and students of the Bible. She leads her readers to a profound understanding of the bodiliness of the resurrection and how Jesus continues to be present to his disciples, as depicted in John 20-21. She invites us into a transformative encounter with the Risen One who commissioned his disciples to continue his mission throughout time.
