to “body” and “bodily” in the New Testament? Does science really make it impossible to think
of heaven as a place? Is it true that in Scripture the words “heaven” and “heavenly” indicate a
state rather than a place? Does modern theology think of heaven only as a condition to be
entered upon after death? Does its position really find support in such a passage as Eph. 2:6?
Does the Old Testament contain any references to the ascension and the session at the right
hand of God? What serious objections are there to the Lutheran doctrine of the ubiquity of the
human nature of Christ? Does the Bible teach us to regard the return of Christ as imminent?
