The Ascension of Christ
The Ascension of Christ into Heaven is clearly affirmed by all the Creeds. Christ’s heavenly ministry is an orthodox truth affirmed by the church, an evangelical truth attested by the Scriptures and a devotional truth expressed in Anglican the worship and liturgy.
In this short book Ed Moll surveys the New Testament teaching about the Ascension of Christ in order to give the reader confidence that this is indeed a biblical doctrine and that it can and must be proclaimed by expository preaching.
He also shows how Christ’s being seated in Heaven is embedded into the worshipping life of the Anglican Church through its Formularies, the Book of Common Prayer, the 39 Articles of Religion and the Ordinal. A final section gives pointers to teaching the Ascension through expository preaching.
