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.
