After a period of pastoral service he taught in Princeton, Dubuque, Occidental, and Butler. He is author of six volumes. has devoted most of his life to Christian education. Here is his added testimony in revolt against the Greek concept. Man is a “unity,” not an incongruous compound of an undying soul and a dying body: CFF2 926.3
“Man is a unity. The Greek emphasis upon immortality is also being challenged in favor of the emphasis upon the resurrection of the body. The so-called persistence of man’s spirit-as though it could be dissociated from his life in this world-is questioned. It casts aspersions on the body which God has made and which, for the ‘new being in Christ’ is called the temple of the Holy Spirit.” 5656) E. G. Homrighausen, “Discussion,” Pastoral Psychology June? 1957, p. 27. CFF2 926.4
