Francis Moloney's new book takes its inspiration from the
critically acclaimed publications of the renowned biblical scholar
Raymond E. Brown-The Birth of the Messiah and The Death of the
Messiah. In The Resurrection of the Messiah, Moloney provides a
narrative reading of the resurrection stories in Mark, Matthew,
Luke, and John. His focus is almost entirely upon the text itself.
Guided by current scholarship, he uncovers the perennial
significance of the four resurrection narratives, accepted and read
as "Sacred Scripture" in the Christian tradition. Without
disregarding the historical background that must be understood for
an appreciation of the story, a narrative commentary attempts to
trace the intended impact of that story upon its readers. This
reading and interpretative process uncovers the literary structure
of a passage, and then follows the unfolding of the narrative
itself, allowing it to speak for itself. The thrust of the book is
to uncover the unique theological and pastoral message communicated
by means of the narratives. Moloney concludes that "we rejoice in
what Jesus has done for us in and through the resurrection. This is
especially true in our current era, when Christian institutions and
practice are under threat from many sides, and also from the way
Christianity is lived by many of us. The stories of the
resurrection of the Messiah assure us that Jesus' promises come
true, that our fears, doubts, failures, and sin are overcome, as we
are sent out again and again on mission, accompanied by the
never-failing presence of Jesus in the gift of his Spirit."
