In this classic study, Reginald H. Fuller approaches the New Testament resurrection narratives as a critic who is concerned with the historical basis of the Easter proclamation. He starts with the earliest record of the Easter traditions in 1 Corinthians 15 and only thereafter turns to the Easter narratives of the four Gospels. In so doing he attempts to reconstruct the history of the tradition using the tools of tradition and redaction criticism to discover the reasons which gave rise to the various Gospel accounts of Jesus' resurrection. Above all else, Fuller's comprehensive study leads to a clear understanding of what the Easter proclamation, "The Lord is risen," means according to the New Testament.

Reginald H. Fuller, an ordained priest of the Church of England, taught New Testament at Seabury-Western Theological Seminary, Union Seminary (New York), and Virginia Theological Seminary. Among the many works to his credit are Interpreting the Miracles (1963), The Foundations of New Testament Christology (1965), A Critical Introduction to the New Testament (1966), The Use of the Bible in Preaching (Fortress Press, 1981), and the beloved Preaching the New Lectionary (with Daniel Westberg, 3rd Edition, 2006).
