BIBLICAL CRITICISM
CHRIST’S RESURRECTION CONTROVERSY IN BRITAIN LONDON, April 21. Repercussion of the frequent latter lay frapk criticism of Biblical testimony is seen in the mass of contradictory views to that expressed by Canon Donaldson in his Eastertide message: “The most certain fact in history is that Christ rose from the dead.” Scientists and students of religion join the Agnostics in the ensuing newspaper correspondence, in which there is the query: “What happened to the risen body eventually?” An associate of the Royal College of Surgeons asks: “If it disappeared in disintegration or the radiation of electrons and protons, what point is there for us or those who believe in the resurrection?” Several correspondents agree that the Gospel narratives were compiled at least forty or fifty years after the event, and were “subsequently retouched and re-edited and are now a flagrant contradiction.’’
