Right into the twenty-first century scholars have examined what St Augustine of Hippo (354–430) taught on the Trinity, freewill and grace, the interpretation of Scripture, the sacraments, and other central themes of Chris-tian faith. Surprisingly, his teaching on Christ’s resurrection from the dead has been long neglected. This book aims to fill this important gap. Gerald O’Collins first sets out what Augustine preached and wrote about Christ’s personal rising from the dead and about the historical and existential evidence for accepting the resurrection. The second half of the book takes up the enduring significance of this teaching and apologetic and, where necessary, updates Augustine’s account of Christ’s resurrection. Now resident scholar at Jesuit Theological College (Parkville, Vic), O’Collins has authored or co-authored nearly seventy books, including eight on the resurrection.
