Ascension often gets
neglected as Christians reflect on the meaning of Jesus' life and the
implications of that life for our own living - this book sets out to
bring the Ascension into the conversation. The authors look at the
meaning of the Ascension from a number of angles and bring some fresh
insights to consider.
I found this book to be a helpful condensation of theological themes connected with the Ascension. I particularly appreciated the connection between the crucifixion and ascension, and the understanding that what was started on the cross was concluded in the clouds - that the ascension turns the cross into a victory. I also appreciated how the authors were able to show how ascension is found throughout the New Testament, not just in Luke and Acts (not directly, but as a recognition of who Jesus is).
