Thesis (M.A.)--Boston University / Resurrection, as characterized by Paul, attains its clearest significance when viewed in the context of all his letters, rather than through the lens of two or three more prominent verses. Its meaning lies at the basis of all of Paul's thinking, giving to life a fullness and purpose. Without the doctrine of resurrection Pauline theology is substanceless, a barren theory, wandering athirst in the desert of human hope. Seen at the heart of his thinking, resurrection becomes the central strand which uniquely links the various strains of his thought into a unified whole. Before his Damascus road experience Paul ranks as a Pharisee of the first order, especially in his zeal to trample on foreign elements of thought. The irradiance of a new day, the light of the life and love of Jesus, dawned in Paul's thought as he journeyed from Jerusalem to Damascus. A man of intrinsic goodness, misdirected as it sometimes may have been, Paul traversed the barren sands o:f arid law, Judaism grom stale because of its essential lack of inwardness. In the conflict of a choice between the old and the new, Paul awakened to the essential ethic of Christianity. His own regeneration in this period demonstrated to him the need :for universal human regeneration [TRUNCATED]

From Introduction: The fact of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, from the dead is the central fact of Christian faith and teaching. This centrality is certainly accorded it in the Bible, but has often been forgotten in the thinking, practice and worship of the Christian Church. (The paucity of available contemporary literature on the subject is one fact which may serve to illustrate this.) The subject of the first Christian sermon preached on the Day of Pentecost was on the Resurrection. The Jesus whom they had crucified, God had made both Lord and Christ. (Acts 2. 37.) The Gospels would belie their name if they had left us with an account of the life and tragic death of a man who claimed to know and reveal God in a special way. The news is good news precisely because of the Resurrection of our Lord from the dead.
