About the Book

Rising Light begins with the Christian hope of a promised expectation of a bodily resurrection. It is rooted in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the Biblical foundation of the Old and New Testaments. It carries through to the Tradition of the Catholic/Christian church beginning with the Apostles and the church Fathers and then weaves through key Doctors of the church such as St Augustine and St Thomas Aquinas. It includes the institutional grounding of the Christian faith found in the church creeds, The Catholic Catechism, and Papal encyclicals, letters and exhortations.as well as the theology of prominent modern theologians such as Karl Rahner, SJ and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin SJ. This book will demonstrate how unlike the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ which are historical realities, the resurrection is something not only historical, but also transhistorical, in that it encompasses and affects all of history from its beginning to its end. The concluding chapters of Rising Light focus on how the risen Christ for us has now become greater than even Christianity itself as a world religion, as the risen Christ is now the Universal Christ. The book ends with how the theology of Karl Rahner (Theological Anthropology) can show us that theology of the resurrection is not only rooted in the supernatural and transcendent divine, but also in the very nature of the human person in something as universal to all mankind as our sense of humor.
