The Triumph of the Rising: The Believer's Victory Over Death (The Great Chapters of the Bible)

New book series from bestselling author John MacArthur on the great chapters of the Bible.

Taken from the MacArthur New Testament Commentary on 1 Corinthians, this book equips believers with transforming truth by explaining Paul’s treatment of the doctrine of the resurrection.

• The Evidence for Christ’s Resurrection
• The Importance of Bodily Resurrection
• The Resurrection Plan
• Resurrection Incentives
• Our Resurrection Bodies
• Victory Over Death

In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul delivers the most extensive treatment of the resurrection in all of Scripture. As the heart pumps life-giving blood to every part of the body, so the truth of the resurrection gives life to every area of gospel truth. The resurrection is the pivot on which all of Christianity turns and without which none of the other truths would much matter. Without the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Christianity would be mere wishful thinking, taking its place alongside all other systems of human philosophy and religious speculation. Paul, however, declares that Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, therefore all who are in Christ Jesus will also be raised to life.
