Story★★★★Dr. John A. Hutton has said that wc have fallen away from the richness of the Christian anticipation of the future because we have allowed ourselves “to speak of the immortality of the soul, which is not the Christian doctrine.” The immortality of the soul is not a Christian doctrine at all. Barbarians hold it, Hindus, Confucians, every tribe and every nation. The “distinctive Christian doctrine” is not that the soul is immortal but that the body rises from the dead.
The point
The distinctive Christian doctrine is not the immortality of the soul but the resurrection of the body.
