An Essay On The Scriptural Doctrine of Immortality (Paperback)

Considering that under the existing conditions of humanity, disease, and decay, and death abound on every side, it is surprising that the word immortality obtained a place in systems of philosophy, the authors of which must be supposed to have been unacquainted with divine revelation. It is not surprising that in the absence of such aid the belief of immortality should not have been firmly held, or that by some philosophers it should have been expressly disavowed. Even in the Canonical Scriptures, the words immortal and immortality occur only in the Epistles of the Apostle Paul, and consequently not till life and immortality had been brought to light through the Gospel. It is a remarkable circumstance that these words are met with more frequently in the Apocryphal Books, 2 Esdras, Wisdom of Solomon, and Ecclesiasticus, than in the Canonical Scriptures. The explanation of the apparent silence of the Scriptures, especially those of the Old Testament, on so essential a doctrine, will, I think, be found to be given by the course of argument adopted in this essay.
