“But the papacy came very early indeed, and has already held sway during nearly threefourths of the Church’s history” (Page 354)
“And why should not God suddenly, in a moment, be able to form this new body? Is it not the very conception which Scripture gives us of the resurrection, that it is a miracle which will take place in an instant, not the result of a long natural process of evolution in which the ‘interim corporeality’ will form the connecting-link between the old earthly body and the resurrection body?” (Page 133)
“theologians of high rank, e.g. Delitzsch and Kurtz, have said about a Fall in the angel-world” (Page 40)
“ how many would then have troubled themselves about God and His grace and salvation?” (Page 48)
“Their state in Hades, therefore, must be supposed to be more tolerable, and Scripture” (Page 160)
We have no doubt that Lutherans will regard Life after Death as an acceptable addition to their theological literature.
—Dublin Review
Remarkable in its originality and grasp.
—Homiletic Review
Bishop Dahle is no dry-as-dust theologian; his heart is in the matter, and he writes in a vivid and direct style which does not lose its attractiveness even in its new dress. It is the homilist that speaks as well as the theologian, when at the very outset the doctrines of ‘the last things’ are presented as the doctrine of hope. We are charmed everywhere with the geniality of his presentation and his careful separation of what is deemed certain from that for which nothing more than probability is claimed, and we are not only instructed but elevated by every page.
