The Future Life, Or Immortality, As Revealed in the Bible (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Future Life, or Immortality, as Revealed in the Bible

During the period of my ministry, I have been questioned more in relation to the Resurrection of the dead, than any other subject within the whole range of theology; and nothing has been more difiicult to answer, than some of the questions which have been put to me. At first I was greatly perplexed and embarrassed. I sought assistance from others, and receiv ed but little. But, behaving that there was truth in the Bible, on the subject, I went to work in good earnest to find it, and in due time I obtained that which was satisfactory to my own mind. I presented it to others and it satisfied them. And as the church and society with which I am now connected, were somewhat disturbed by conflicting sentiments on the Doctrine of the Resurrection of the dead, when I commenced' my labors with them, I collected a variety of materials, with the deter mination to digest and arrange them, and at some future day, publish them in the form of a book. But the cares and duties of a clergyman, settled over a society scattered over considera ble territory, and other labors which may not now be mention ed, have prevented the accomplishment of the work according to the first design. I have not been able to digest and dispose of all the materials collected as I could wish; but as there is really a great demand for a work on the Resurrection of the dead, and as my views seem to meet the wants of those who have examined them, I have concluded to publish them without farther delay.
