No Resurrection, Princeton Professor Says

1914

The story of the resurrection of Christ, as recorded by the Disciples, was the product of Peter's imagination and zealous faith, according to Lucius Hopkins Miller, professor of Biblical instruction at Princeton University, in an article in the Biblical World just released by the University of Chicago Press.

The article is entitled "Life of Jesus in the Light of Modern Criticism."

Prof. Miller maintains that Jesus rose merely in the spirit and not in the body, and the story of the empty grave is a myth. He describes the impressions produced on the minds of the Apostles following Christ's crucifixion as a "series of visions."
