Abstract

It is the purpose of this paper to consider the import of the placement of the resurrection of the body into the Third Article of the Creed, showing the significance which the resurrection of the body has for sanctification. In order to do this it will be necessary to trace the importance ascribed to the body from the creation of man at the beginning of the world to the final consummation in heaven. It will be shown that the body is included in the eternal purpose of God and in His acts concerning man, and it will be pointed out that Lutheran dogmaticians have rightly emphasized the vital role which the body plays in men's relation to God.
