Jesus risen : an historical, fundamental, and systematic examination of Christ's resurrection

O'Collins does not set out to construct an apology for the Christian doctrine of resurrection, and emphasizes strongly that the language of resurrection begins in the contexts of faith and liturgy.

That said, O'Collins demonstrates the duplicity of those within the theological tradition who dismantle resurrection faith, and in doing so makes no apology for presenting a case for the unique, physical yet incomprehensible resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. He emphasizes, too, that resurrection belief can never be adequately expressed from an armchair: resurrection belief leads to liturgy, to justice, and to eschatological hope. Ultimately it also leads back to where it began: to love.
