Dr. Montgomery presents the case for the historicity of the resurrection and the reliability of the New Testament accounts of the resurrection.

The one book of the Bible which best unites the Old Testament with the New is the Epistle to the Hebrews. Produced in Apostolic circles, doubtless by a companion of St. Paul, it remains the best account in all of divine revelation as to how the history of Israel and its sacrificial system were God's vehicle for the coming of Jesus the Messiah.

No book in the entire Bible has had such an impact for theological conversion as Paul's Epistle to the Romans. St. Augustine came to Christ on hearing Romans 13:11-14; Martin Luther's study of the book brought him to an understanding of salvation by grace alone through faith; John Wesley's heart was "strangely warmed" as he listened to the reading of Luther's Preface to the Book of Romans at a little Moravian chapel in Aldersgate; and Karl Barth sounded the death knell of pre-World War I liberal theology with his Commentary on Romans.

In 1987, Dr. Montgomery delivered the annual Pascal Lectures at the University of Waterloo. In clear, precise, and easy-to-understand language, he details why the inter-relationship between human rights and Christian theology is so critical.

He then provides reasons why Christians, on the basis of that revelation, should be keenly interested and active in human rights issues.
