Atonement and the Logic of Resurrection in the Epistle to the Hebrews
Hebrews appears to have little interest in Jesus' resurrection. Drawing on contemporary studies of Jewish sacrifice, Jewish apocalyptic literature, and fresh exegetical insights, this volume argues that Jesus' resurrection forms the conceptual center of Hebrews' Christological and soteriological reflection.

Christ's Resurrection in Early Christianity
Why is the Resurrection of Christ so remote, almost non-existent in many early Christian writings of the first 140 years of Christianity? This is the first Patristic book to focus on the development of the belief in the Resurrection of Christ through the first centuries A.D.
By Paul, Christ's Resurrection is regarded as the basis of Christian hope. In the fourth century it becomes a central Christian tenet. But what about the discrepancy in the first three centuries?
This thought provoking book explores this core topic in Christian culture and theology. Taking a broad approach - including iconography, archaeology, history, philosophy, Jewish Studies and theology - Markus Vinzent offers innovative reading of well known biblical and other texts complemented by rarely discussed evidence.
Christ's Resurrection in Early Christianity takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the wilderness of unorthodox perspectives in the breadth of early Christian writings. It is an eye-opening experience with insights into the craftsmanship of early Christianity - and the earliest existential debates about life and death, death and life - all centred on the cross, on suffering, enduring and sacrifice.

Marriage beyond the grave – ‘Till Death Do Us Part’, marriage according to culture and Christianity
This article examines the concept of marriage in African culture by challenging the traditional Western understanding of marriage as defined by the vow ‘till death do us part’. The study explores how marriage, in many African cultures, extends beyond the physical death of a spouse and involves familial and communal obligations that continue after death. The primary objective of this research is to analyse how African marital traditions and Christian teachings interact and influence one another. A literature review methodology was used, drawing from various academic journals, books and biblical texts to critically assess how these cultural and religious perspectives shape marriage practices. The key findings reveal that while Christianity views marriage as a covenant between one man and one woman that ends upon death, African traditions emphasise the continuation of marital and familial duties through practices such as widow inheritance and community support. The review also highlights the adaptive nature of African Christianity, where biblical teachings are often interpreted in a way that aligns with cultural values. This analysis shows that while biblical principles emphasise the finality of marriage at death (Rm 7:2), African marriage practices maintain a sense of continuity even beyond death, reflecting a collective approach to life and family. Contribution: The article concludes that the coexistence of these perspectives presents both challenges and opportunities for understanding marriage in African Christian contexts. Further research is recommended to explore the implications for marital counselling and pastoral care in African societies, where cultural and Christian beliefs intersect.

Cyclic electron flow plays an important role in photoprotection for the resurrection plant Paraboea rufescens under drought stress
Resurrection plants could survive severe drought stress, but the underlying mechanism for protecting their photosynthetic apparatus against drought stress is unclear. Cyclic electron flow (CEF) has been documented as a crucial mechanism for photoprotection in Arabidopsis and tobacco. We hypothesized that CEF plays an important role in protecting photosystem I (PSI) and photosystem II (PSII) against drought stress for resurrection plants. To address this hypothesis, the effects of mild drought stress on light energy distribution in PSII and P700 redox state were examined in a resurrection plant Paraboea rufescens. Cyclic electron flow was not activated below the photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) of 400 µmol m⁻² s⁻¹ in leaves without drought stress. However, CEF was activated under low light in leaves with mild drought stress, and the effective quantum yield of PSII significantly decreased. Meanwhile, non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) was significantly stimulated not only under high light but also under low light. Compared with the control, the fraction of overall P700 that cannot be oxidized in a given state (PSI acceptor side limitation) under high light was maintained at low level of 0.1 in leaves with water deficit, indicating that the over-reduction of the PSI acceptor side was prevented by the significant stimulation of CEF. Furthermore, methyl viologen could significantly increase the PSII photo-inhibition induced by high light compared with chloramphenicol. These results suggested that CEF is an important mechanism for protecting PSI and PSII from drought stress in resurrection plants.
