Overview

The pivotal relation of the resurrection to the Christian system has been generally acknowledged. It is the cardinal fact of Christianity. In this book, the author delves into the how and why of key points of the Resurrection, a precursor to the Christian's resurrection.He distinguishes between a resurrection, and a resuscitation, showing that Lazarus was resuscitated, while Jesus was resurrected. He counters the error of reincarnation, and discusses why this is incompatible with the Scriptures. Dealing with skeptics, he thoroughly refutes the major theories that deny the resurrection: the Theory of Fancy, the Theory of Fraud, and the Theory of Phantom. One of the most significant points he brings out is that that the angel rolled away the stone from the door of the tomb to let the outsiders in, not to let Jesus out. In that tomb were evidences of the resurrection which it was desirable the disciples should see. The winding sheets spoke as eloquently and convincingly of entrance into new life, as the empty shell of the chrysalis speaks of the flight of the butterfly. Lazarus brought the wrappings that were [wound] about him with him when he came from the grave. Furthermore, he converses the accounts of the Resurrection in each of the gospels, and concludes with a homily on the power of the Resurrection and its first-fruits for believers. Homage is paid by the editor to the author's son, a WWI flying ace who was killed in action defending a fellow-pilot. Certainly, his son's heroic death must have been very much on his mind, and what comfort meditating on these truths must have brought the author.
