Peter Gant is an Anglican priest and a former senior civil servant. He studied physics at Oxford and theology at both Oxford and Cambridge.
Gant dances around literalism, reductionism and unbelief in an attempt to weave a credible answer in a non-interventionist reading of Jesus' resurrection, convincing enough to undergird Christian faith for today. Does he succeed? Read and decide. The argument is worth it. -- Rosie Budd * Transforming Ministry * [Gant's] is a magnificently argued position. Whether it is one that would, or even should, displace the deeply affective attachment to the stories which carry such impact in the Easter cycle each year remains open to debate. -- Bridget Nichols * Rural Theology * Forceful and fair in his style of argument ... This is a startling and challenging book. -- Henry Wansbrough * The Church Times * This is a remarkably honest book. In fact, the author's uncompromising commitment to articulating only what a critical reading of the actual New Testament evidence will justifiably allow constitutes a confronting challenge, not only to the unthinking forces of contemporary fundamentalism and naive biblicism, but also to much of the Christian apologetics of mainline Christian Churches that tend to be wedded to the defence of inherited or preconceived views come what may. ... This is a significantly interesting and challenging book. It would be a mistake to underestimate its importance. -- Peter Carnley * Journal of Anglican Studies *
