A collection of essays and responses situating and discussing the role of resurrection in contemporary Christian spirituality as inspired by the life work of Sandra Schneiders. The source is Resurrection in the Age of Uncertainty, a conference in honor of Sandra Schneiders held by the Institute for the Study of Contemporary Spirituality at the Oblate School of Theology in San Antonio, Nov. 15-17, 2023. Contributors include Sandra Schneiders, Bernard McGinn, Philip Sheldrake, Nancy Pineda-Madrid, Wendy Wright, and Dan Horan.
St. Paul tells us that if Jesus didn't rise from the dead, then we, as Christians, are the most deluded of all people. But if he did rise, then everything makes sense. These essays on the resurrection underscore that point. Written to honor the work of Sandra Schneiders, a preeminent theologian of the resurrection, they give us a deeper understanding of the very anchor of our faith.
--Ronald Rolheiser, Oblate School of Theology, San Antonio, Texas
This volume offers a collective and challenging meditation for our times that artfully nourishes resurrection hope without shying away from the deep uncertainties facing our contemporary world. Expanding the imaginative horizons of Christian spirituality from Sandra Schneiders's foundational work, these essays invite us to recognize and cultivate new possibilities for encountering the divine with openness to mystical and prophetic transformation.
--Amy Maxey, PhD, Assistant Professor of Spirituality & Rolheiser Chair in Spirituality, Oblate School of Theology, San Antonio, Texas
Sandra Schneiders, respected biblical scholar and influential pioneer of the academic study of Christian spirituality, takes the resurrection of Jesus very seriously, and has anchored her own life experience upon its reality and implications. This book, a stimulating conversation among a group of gifted thinkers shaped and inspired by her work, attests to the enduring vitality and inexhaustible promise of her Easter vision.
--Glen G. Scorgie, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Theology, Bethel University
