In the maze of competing cultural agendas, the Church's revolutionary message and life-giving influence are compromised and eventually consumed. What can be done to stem this tide? Many say the answer is for the Christian community to seek a more prominent position in society, but respected teacher and best-selling author Dr. Robert L. Wise contends that we must confront the surrounding culture with a deeper understanding of Christ's resurrection. Only by recovering and sharing the resurrection of the living Lord can we reclaim the experience of the first believers, who found in the resurrection a doorway to personal redemption that, in turn, transformed society around them. In this fresh exploration of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead, Dr. Wise presents an engaging dialogue with a first-century eyewitness to the resurrection, offers stories of personal encounters with Jesus throughout Church history and provides insights into the meaning and significance of the resurrection. It's time to meet the risen Christ.Wise, Robert L. is the author of 'The Son Rises', published 2008 under ISBN 9780830745692 and ISBN 0830745696.
