A Complex and Totally Mortal Monism

July 26, 2009 By david Leave a Comment

E. Earle Ellis, in “Let the Reader Understand: Temple and Eschatology in Mark,” in Kent E. Browner and Mark W. Elliot, ed. Eschatology in the Bible and Theology: Evangelical Essays at the Dawn of the New Millennium  (Downers Grove, Illinois: IVP, 1997), 211 says:

“The Scriptures, both Old and New Testament, represent individual personality as a complex and totally mortal monism, a unity that can be viewed from different perspectives, but that cannot be broken into separate parts. The Biblical view is compatible with an outer/inner distinction or even matter/ thought or matter/ will distinction, as long as both aspects are recognized as mortal and as a part of the present fallen creation thus subject to the natural death process.”

About David Burge

David Burge was the Editor of From Death to Life for 6 years and the chairperson of the Conditional Immortality Association of NZ from 1993 until his death in 2010 from Leukemia.

"He was a genuine leader, a gifted, enterprising, focused and humble person who could be relied upon to make the most of his own gifts and to take others with him. David was not afraid of responsibility, but rose to every opportunity granted him to serve His Lord and Saviour. He was inspirational, a man of courage and vision, who earned the complete confidence of all who knew him. He carried heavy burdens lightly, and displayed unfailing, cheerful good will towards all."
from A Tribute to David Burge by Warren Prestidge . He was the father of eight and dearly loved husband of Tarnya . He pastored the Takanini Community Church for 12 years and he had cerebral palsy.
