Description

Refiguring Resurrection: A Biblical and Systematic Eschatology by Steven Edward Harris offers a fresh approach to understanding Christian eschatology. Drawing on recent literary and theological interpretation, as well as premodern exegesis and theology, Harris contests the dismissal of earlier accounts of resurrection in Scripture as irrelevant to a theology of resurrection. Harris develops a comprehensive eschatology that takes into account the figural character of these earlier resurrections while considering the four last things: Christ's return, final resurrection, last judgment, and new creation. This approach provides a robust, canonically holistic "figural eschatology" that has not been defended in three centuries. By being more faithful to Christian Scripture, Harris presents an eschatology that is both theoretically promising and practically relevant, offering new insights into key areas of recent discussion such as inaugurated eschatology, the figural reading of Scripture, and the debate between narratival and apocalyptic interpretations of the apostle Paul.
