ABSTRACT
Of the Resurrection of Christ. Christ did truly arise again from death, and took again His body, with flesh, bones, and all things appertaining to the perfection of man’s nature, wherewith he ascended into heaven, and there sitteth, until he return to judge all men at the last day. One minor point deserves a brief notice before leaving the subject of the witness of Scripture to the resurrection. It will be observed that the Article asserts that “Christ did truly arise”. Of the actual nature of the resurrection body we know but little, and that little is drawn entirely from the statements of Scripture. In 1553 and 1563 the title in the Latin was “Resurrectio Christi,” for which “De resurrection Christi” was substituted in 1571 as harmonising better with the English. In the last clause the word “all” appears for the first time in the English edition published in 1563.
