Corinthians 15:Thematic Elaboration." From The Tapestry of Early
Christian Discourse: Rhetoric, Society and Ideology, Dr. Vernon K. Robbins, London:
Routledge, 1996.
 | "Elaboration, then, is a mode of
argumentation central to early Christian discourse. Without this kind of intertextual
argument, it is doubtful that Christianity would have become a powerful alternative to
other Jewish groups at the time." |

Mystery Story: Children, Cancer and Covenant," Diane M. Komp,
Yale University Medical School. Theology Today, 1992.
| "Several years ago, I was
visiting a Trappist monastery with a former brother of that
community. During the prayers of the people, my companion asked
prayer for "My friend Di and her ministry of healing." At
lunch, several other guests asked me about my work. They were
shocked to learn that I am a medical doctor. It is an interesting
reflection on the semantics of health and medicine in our times that
they did not expect a healer to be a doctor." |

"We
Believe in Divine Judgment," Georgia Harkness, Chapter 12 in Beliefs
That Count, 1961. At Religion Online.
| "Man, whose earthly existence
is so brief and uncertain, has nevertheless eternity set in his
heart by the Creator. The words of Jesus and His resurrection from
the dead bring to us the assurance that for the Christian death
shall be swallowed up in victory. God is eternal, Jesus is the
conqueror of the grave, and we, being united by faith with Him,
share His everlasting life. Death is a doorway from a natural world
into a spiritual world. Behind the thin veil that conceals from our
human eyes the Blessed Country there stands One who has gone to
prepare a place for us and who will one day receive us unto Himself
in eternal glory. Heaven is the perfect companionship of the
believer with Christ, and death is but a transition into the deeper
fellowship of His nearer presence." |
