Synopsis
Each Easter time Christians celebrate the resurrection from the dead of our Lord Jesus Christ, but the Bible has a lot to say about the resurrection of each Christian; that is, the resurrection of the body. In fact it is the hope of each and every believer in Jesus Christ. As Paul wrote in Philippians 3:20-21: But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Saviour from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body. That being the case, what does the Bible say about The Resurrection of the Body? In this book Bullinger answers that question. Other works of Bullinger published by the Open Bible Trust: The Second Advent in Relation to the Jew; The Spirits in Prison - 1 Peter; The Knowledge of God: God s Purpose in Israel.

À propos de l'auteur
Ethelbert W. Bullinger D.D. (1837-1913) was a direct descendent of Heinrich Bullinger, the great Swiss reformer who carried on Zwingli s work after the latter had been killed in war. E. W. Bullinger was brought up a Methodist but sang in the choir of Canterbury Cathedral in Kent. He trained for and became an Anglican minister before becoming Secretary of the Trinitarian Bible Society. He was a man of intense spirituality and made a number of outstanding contributions to biblical scholarship and broad-based evangelical Christianity. This booklet originally appeared as three articles in Things to Come in about 1905. It has been reprinted here from those articles without change. I have left the text the same, except for sub-headings which have been put in to break up the continuous text and, hopefully, to help the reader follow the argument. Thus this booklet includes the view Bullinger held at the time he wrote on the hope of the Church which is the Body of Christ; namely that it was to meet the Lord in the air . Bullinger was later to change that view and concluded that the hope of this Church, spoken of in Ephesians and Colossians, should be distinguished from the hope of the Acts period, during which 1 Thessalonians 4 was written. Thus the meeting the Lord in the air was replaced by looking for Christ s appearing in glory . These later views were expressed in a series of Editorials under the heading The Lord hath Spoken which appeared in Things to Come from 1911 to 1913. They were later published posthumously in his book The Foundations of Dispensational Truth, a reprint of which is available from the Open Bible Trust,
