Synopsis

In dealing with this Scripture, and the subject of the so-called "intermediate state," it is important that we should confine ourselves to the *Word of God, * and not go to Tradition. Yet, when nine out of ten believe what they have learned from Tradition, we have a thankless task, so far as pleasing man is concerned. We might give our own ideas as the employment's, etc., of the "departed," and man would deal leniently with us. But let us only put *God's Revelation* against man's imagination, and then we shall be made to feel his wrath, and experience his opposition. -from *The Rich Man and Lazarus* In *The Rich Man and Lazarus, * Ethelbert William Bullinger offers his discussion of what happens to us after we die. Basing his analysis entirely on the words of the Bible-and not on "Tradition," which he explains is cause only for great confusion-Bullinger explores what God actually reveals to us in Scripture concerning humanity in life, and in death, as well as the state and condition of the dead. First published in 1902, this work continues to inspire and enlighten readers of the Bible today. British clergyman ETHELBERT WILLIAM BULLINGER (1837-1913) was one of the most respected Bible scholars of the 19th century. He is author of numerous works including *Commentary on Revelation*, *Great Cloud of Witnesses*, and *How to Enjoy the Bible*.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Rich Man and Lazarus - the intermediate state It is the author s contention that when dealing with the subject of what happens at death, it is important that Christians confine themselves to what the Bible has to say and turn neither to experiences nor to tradition. Experiences differ greatly and often contradict each other. Also, some traditional Christian doctrine has more in common with the teachings of the Pharisees than with those of our Lord Jesus Christ and what is in the Bible. This is true of Luke 16:19-31, The Rich Man and Lazarus, and in this publication we have reprinted Josephus discourse to the Greeks, informing them what the Pharisees taught concerning hades. By an extensive use of both Scripture and traditional sources, Dr. Bullinger places the evidence before the reader. As a result, Christians will find this publication very helpful and informative. Some may be surprised to find just how much of an influence the traditions of the Pharisees had on early Christianity, and how some still permeates Christian thought today.
