This book was released on 2016-10-14 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Resurrection of Christ a Part of Christianity We drop the form of address to unbelievers, to say, in conclusion, that we would not be understood to disparage the existing documentary evidence of Christ's resurrec tion. Any one who takes it up in the right spirit will be struck with its abundance, its clearness, and naturalness, and beauty. We believe that it will be to the end of time, an independent source of belief in the resurrection, and through this in all the supernatural of Christianity. It were all that is necessary if it contained but one sentence declaring unequivocally that Jesus rose. But without even that, we have tried to show that the continued exist ence of Christianity would carry, with it a belief in the resurrection. Now when we see and feel that this fact is built into the very framework of our faith, just as a con stitutional article is incorporated into the framework of a government, then we can go back to those early testi190 T he Resurrection of Christ.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Resurrection of Jesus There is scarcely another fact' in the Christian Faith that has caused so much difficulty to the belief of the modern man as that of the Resurrection of Jesus. The advance of science in our days seems to leave no room for miracle, especially for such a miracle as the resurrection of the dead to a new bodily life. And yet the question here is not of a miracle which could be put aside as unhistorical, without essential deduction from the apostolic Gospel. The church has always considered the resurrection of Jesus as a principal part of her message. The apostle Paul occasionally describes Christian saving faith in the words: Thou believest in thine heart that God hath raised Jesus from the dead (rom. 10. 9) and he also says directly: If Christ be not risen then is our preaching vain ye are yet in 3 your Sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished (1 Cor. 15. I4, 17, In like manner among all other New Testament writers, the resurrec.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Observations on the History and Evidences of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ But as the resurrection's having been fully proved to the apostles, though absolutely necessary, yet is not of itself sufficient to authorize at this time and establish the faith of a Christian, I imagined, that what I had alreadywritten would be imperfect, at least, if not al together useless, unless I added some arguments and reasons'i had'to offer, to 'induce us, who live at the distance of seventeen hundred years from the date of that miraculous event, 'to believe that Christ is risen from the dead. These reasons, therefore, I have thought proper to subjoin under two heads, viz thetestimony of the chosen Witnesses of the Resurrection recorded in-tlie Scriptures, and the Existence of the Christian Religion.

Download or read book Christ s Resurrection in Early Christianity written by Professor Markus Vinzent and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-06-28 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Download or read book The Resurrection of Jesus Christ Historically and Logically Viewed Classic Reprint written by Richard W. Dickinson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Resurrection of Jesus Christ Historically and Logically Viewed The following pages are submitted to the public in the hope that they may serve, at least in some degree, to supply a want, which, though seldom expressed, is often felt. The want, here assumed, as the conscious experience of not a few minds, is that of some treatise on the Resurrection of Christ, which, while excluding all that is irrelevant, without omitting anything essential to the fair discussion of the subject, shall, in a brief and convenient form, embody the facts and testimony in the case; and which, in vindicating the credibility of the witnesses, shall rebut the positions, and expose the sophistries of Infidelity. Such a work, it is hoped, will not merely attract the notice of those who have no leisure for investigating the documentary proofs of our holy religion, but will also furnish material for reflection on not a few of the most striking incidents of the Gospels, as well as on some of the most humiliating features of our fallen nature.

Download or read book The Place of the Resurrection Appearances of Jesus Classic Reprint written by William Park Armstrong and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Place of the Resurrection Appearances of Jesus Christ, for the whole argument of St. Paul is based on the fact that there was a general consent on that subject. It has sometimes been thought that this implies that the Corinthians had no h0pe of any future life be yond death. But this view is an unjustified conclusion from 1 Cor. Xv. 17-19. St. Paul is here arguing that there must be a resurrection, because a future life is impossible without one, and that the hope of the Chris tian to share in the life of Christ necessitates that he should rise from the dead just as Christ did. Moreover, the idea that there was no future life is as wholly foreign to the point of view of the Mystery Religions of the Corinthian world, as it was to that of Jewish theology. The ques tion was not whether there would be a future life, but whether a future life must be attained by means of a resurrection, and St. Paul's argument is that in the first place the past resurrection of Christ is positive evidence for the future resurrection of Christians, and in the second place that the conception of a resurrection is central and essential in Christianity, which offers no hope of a future life for the dead apart from a resur rection. Cf. Also Lake's estimate of the significance to be attached to the elements of Christian faith held in common by Paul and his readers and therefore presupposed in his Epistles, ibid., pp. 115, 132 f., 233 n., 277, 424, 437, and Exp. 1909, i, p. 506.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Resurrection of Christ: An Examination of the Apostolic Belief and Its Significance for the Christian Faith This work is the outcome of request made to the Publishers from different quarters for the publication in separate book form of the Article on the "Resurrection of Christ" in the recently issued second volume of Hasting's Dictionary of the Apostolic Church. The opportunity has been taken to expand and amplify the original Article at different points with a view to greater clearness and explicitness of position. Especially is this the case with the chapters dealing with the nature of our Lord's Resurrection-Body. It is the writer's conviction that the "reduced" or "attenuated" Christianity which is the outcome of indifference to the bodily aspect of the Resurrection not only does less than justice to Apostolic thought, but has serious consequences for our belief in the centrally determinative and constitutive significance of the Resurrection of Christ for our view of the world and life, and in particular for our belief in the ultimate subjugation of the entire material order to the purposes of spirit.

This book was released on 2016-08-30 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Argument for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ Now, according to the Scriptures, this enigmatical life and voluntary death of Christ are of the very essence of Christianity; and yet peculiar and marvellous as were that life and that death, had the career of Christ closed with his burial, there could have been no intelligible Old Testament, no New Testament, no Church, no Christendom, no hope of heaven, no salvation for man. 1 His name would speedily have perished from among men. A dead Christ could not make a living religion. A crucified Christ, mouldering in the tomb, never could have moved and shaken to its centre and revolutionised the Roman Empire, and on the ruins of its idolatry and pagan civilisation built up his toric Christendom. A dead Christ could awaken neither faith, nor hope, nor zeal, nor sacrifice in his cause. Nothing but disi appointment, dismay, and despair on the part of his friends would follow his final destruction. His death would be a death blow to any religion he might have proclaimed in his life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Resurrection in the New Testament: An Examination of the Earlest References to the Rising of Jesus and of Christians From the Dead In any case, the man of the twentieth century must be dissuaded from arguing against the miracles associated with the physical resurrection by the remembrance that the critical first four centuries of the church's life exhausted all such argument. No thing can be said to-day that was not said then, by Trypho or Celsus or Porphyry or some other of the critics of the Christian preaching. Nothing is more sobering for the modern critic than a study of the fathers.i An impressive and instructive example of what is meant may be found in the twenty-second book of Augustine's Civitas Def, notably the fifth chapter, and chapters eleven to twenty-one. If modern apologetic must often go another way than Augustine's, modern criticism must still more defi nitely part company with his opponents.

Download or read book History of Christianity written by Paul Johnson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-03-27 with total page 816 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1976, Paul Johnson’s exceptional study of Christianity has been loved and widely hailed for its intensive research, writing, and magnitude—“a tour de force, one of the most ambitious surveys of the history of Christianity ever attempted and perhaps the most radical” (New York Review of Books). In a highly readable companion to books on faith and history, the scholar and author Johnson has illuminated the Christian world and its fascinating history in a way that no other has. Johnson takes off in the year AD 49 with his namesake the apostle Paul. Thus beginning an ambitious quest to paint the centuries since the founding of a little-known ‘Jesus Sect’, A History of Christianity explores to a great degree the evolution of the Western world. With an unbiased and overall optimistic tone, Johnson traces the fantastic scope of the consequent sects of Christianity and the people who followed them. Information drawn from extensive and varied sources from around the world makes this history as credible as it is reliable. Invaluable understanding of the framework of modern Christianity—and its trials and tribulations throughout history—has never before been contained in such a captivating work.
