This volume contains the acts of the international conference on the theme of the Resurrection that was organized at the Faculty of Theology, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, in April 2010. The focus of the conference was on putting the resurrection in general and of Jesus specifically in a wider literary, cultural and hermeneutical context. This resulted in a fourfold group of contributions. The first group presents the antecedents of resurrection in the Hebrew Bible. The second group is the largest one and offers a panorama of the resurrection in the New Testament (including the four Gospels, Pauline Literature, Apocalypse). The third part opens the research field towards the Jewish and Early Christian milieu while the last section contains three articles on the historical and hermeneutical questions. This volume contains contributions by scholars of both French and Anglo-Saxon background and is characterized by its broad perspective on the resurrection.
