Richard Gaffin on the Resurrection as Part of Gospel

"The resurrection is not an aspect or component of the death. Rather ... each has a meaning of its own which is supressed at the risk of seriously distorting Paul's Gospel".

Richard B Gaffin Jr - "The Centrality of the Resurrection - A Study in Paul's Soteriology" - Baker Biblical Monograph, Grand Rapids, Michigan (1978) - (p115).
