Simpson, W: Resurrection and Modern Thought (Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Resurrection and Modern Thought

The history of the doctrine of the Resurrection of the Body is traced from the Apostolic age down to modern days. And it is believed that a careful study of the two directions in which Christian thought has moved upon this momentous subject would greatly contribute to solve some difficulties which disturb the modern mind. A crude traditional theory, of a materialistic and quite unphilosophic character, is yielding to the Pauline teaching on the spiritual body.

The writer desires gratefully to acknowledge his indebted ness to the suggestions of Dr. Swete, and to the criticisms of Professor Crawford Burkitt, who both read over the work in proof. Thanks are also due to the Editor of the 'church Quarterly Review' for permission to utilise material contri buted to its pages.
