HIGHER CRITICISM OF RESURRECTION BELIEF
Theories of Doubt “MOST CERTAIN FACT OF HISTORY” CHALLENGED GOSPEL CONTRADICTIONS. United Press Association. —By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. LONDON, April 21. A repercussion of the frequent lat-ter-day frank criticism of Biblical testimony is seen in a mass of contradictory views to those of Canon Donaldson’s Eastertide message that the ‘'most' certain fact of history is that Christ rose from tho dead.” Scientists and students of religion join with agnostics in the ensuing newspaper correspondence in which tho query is raised: “What happened to the Risen Body eventually?” An associate of tho Royal College of Surgeons asks if it disappeared in the disintegration or radiation of electrons and protons. “What point is there for us or those who believe in tho Resurrection?’’ ho asks.
Several correspondents agree that the Gospel narratives of the Resurrection wero compiled at least 40 to 50 years after tho event and were “subsequently retouched and re-edited and are now a flagrant contradiction.”
