Whatever Happened to the Resurrection?
Why the Message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ Without the Resurrection is not Good News
by Robert R. Dawson, Th.D

In our 21st Century world, much of what the Evangelical Church held as fundamental doctrines, are now being questioned and even denied and cast aside. In Whatever Happened to the Resurrection? Dr. Robert Dawson presents a thorough examination of the resurrection of Jesus Christ throughout Scripture and explains why it is essential that it must be an integral part of the Gospel message we preach and teach.

Whatever Happened to the Resurrection? is a call to Bible-believing Christians to give the resurrection of Jesus Christ its essential place in our proclamation of the Gospel. It argues that saving faith includes belief not only in Christ’s atoning death, but also his resurrection and shows that many of our evangelistic tracts, doctrinal statements, beloved hymns, and books on missions either omit Christ’s resurrection completely, or give it short shrift. -Gary Williams, Central American Theological Seminary More important than reading this book is reading the man behind the book. I first met Dr. Bob Dawson in 1976 when I became Pastor of Christ Community Church of Lindenwold, New Jersey. Within days of my new position, Bob and his wife Estelle, then co-directors of the Cedar Lane Missionary Homes, met with me to express their desire to be members again of the church. For the next 20 years, I enjoyed their fellowship, was impressed with their servant spirits, and became sympathetic to Bob’s energies in calling Christian pastors, teachers and missionaries to preach the gospel of the physical resurrection of Jesus Christ. -Rev. David Horrocks, Pastor Emeritus, Christ Community Church, Lindenwold, New Jersey
