Resurrection, Time, and Justification

Sang Hoon Lee is professor in systematic theology at Bethel Theological Seminary in South Sudan.

Taking to task brightest theological luminaries such as Barth and Pannenberg is not for the faint-hearted. It takes a lot of audacity—as well as analytic and theological skills combined with wide and deep learning. This is what the author of this brilliant book is doing. Building critically on the proposals of these and other Masters, he argues carefully for a constructive proposal as to how to think about time and eternity and what the implications to Christian doctrine might be. In fact, Sang Hoon Lee is match to his famous interlocutors—and makes a unique contribution to the continuing critical discussion of these vital topics. This is systematic theology at its best.
