The streets are bustling, the flow of people is like running water. At the entrance to the small town, a thin and small figure staggered forward, bright red liquid oozing out of her body, swirling everywhere. Strangely, the roadside flowers and grass were already soaked with blood, and for a moment, it was like drinking a fairy spring, changing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon, the whole body of these flowers and grass was like there is a glint of prophecy. She squatted down to stroke the other flower and grass, her fingertips passed through the stem of the flower without any hindrance, her face was sad, she withdrew her hand, stood up and continued.

This book demonstrates how and why biblical discipleship has been abandoned by a significant majority of Christian parents and church leaders. A catastrophic failure to fulfill the Great Commission to make disciples who can effectively pass on the Good News, sound doctrine, and a biblical worldview to future generations is the result. The adoption of secular philosophies of education, age segregation, the creation of adolescence, the formation of youth ministry, the adoption of a teen subculture, and a fundamental rejection of practical aspects of the doctrine of sola Scriptura are at the heart of the problem. Warnings from Christians who wrote on this topic over the past 150 years have now become a manifest reality with devastating results. The only way to overcome this discipleship cataclysm is to go back to a biblical philosophy of education both in the home and in the church.

The earliest traditions around the narrative of Jesus' resurrection are considered in this landmark work by Dale C. Allison, Jr, drawing together the fruits of his decades of research into this issue at the very core of Christian identity. Allison returns to the ancient sources and earliest traditions, charting them alongside the development of faith in the resurrection in the early church and throughout Christian history. Beginning with historical-critical methodology that examines the empty tomb narratives and early confessions, Allison moves on to consider the resurrection in parallel with other traditions and stories, including Tibetan accounts of saintly figures being assumed into the light, in the chapter “Rainbow Body”. Finally, Allison considers what might be said by way of results or conclusions on the topic of resurrection, offering perspectives from both apologetic and sceptical viewpoints. In his final section of “modest results” he considers scholarly approaches to the resurrection in light of human experience, adding fresh nuance to a debate that has often been characterised in overly simplistic terms of “it happened” or “it didn't”.
