"Ever since death became part of the human experience, God has sent forth the promise—through various messengers and means—that death will not be the end of life but rather its true beginning. From Genesis to the Prophets to the New Testament and everything in between, Jeff does a masterful job of showing us that for every believer in Christ, the long-term worst-case scenario is not gloom and doom but everlasting life to the full. In short, this is a book of hope."

"Sometimes I discover a book that changes everything about how I thought about the subject of the book. Jeff Brannon's book, The Hope of Life After Death, is that kind of book. It is encyclopedic (everything you would ever want to know about the resurrection), biblical (a journey from Genesis to Revelation), and scholarly without being stuffy. But even better, it is filled with hope based in the reality of Christ's resurrection—hope for the world, for the church, and personal hope for me and those I love. If you're looking for some good news in what sometimes feels like a hopeless time, read this book. It (as does the resurrection itself) changes everything."

"Dr. Jeff Brannon has given us a far-reaching explanation of the biblical foundations for the Christian confession, 'I believe in the resurrection of the dead.' He traces the developments of the themes of life, death, and resurrection throughout the Old Testament. He also examines how the New Testament proclaims that these themes are fulfilled in Christ and the general resurrection at Christ's return. His style will benefit both biblical scholars and motivated laypeople. It is a magnificent gift to us all."

"Jeff Brannon's treatment of resurrection life more than amply provides what it promises: a biblical theology of resurrection, tracing the hope of resurrection throughout Scripture and redemptive history. Not merely a treatment of isolated instances of resurrections in the Bible, this rich study convincingly places resurrection squarely in the larger themes of creation and redemption. It inspires authentic hope of new life in Christ both in this life and in that which is to come. A refreshing and convincing read."
