The Rapture of the Christ / Alan W. Gomes in Harvard Theological Review, 102/1 (2009)
[article]
Titre : The Rapture of the Christ : The “Pre-Ascension Ascension” of Jesus in the Theology of Faustus Socinus (1539—1604) Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Alan W. Gomes, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : pp. 75-99. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : In this essay I examine a rather quirky and possibly novel teaching of Faustus Socinus (1539—1604): what George H. Williams calls a “pre-Ascension ascension” (hereafter PAA) of Christ into heaven. Faustus claimed that this bodily ascent into heaven took place before Christ's final visible ascension to heaven some time between his baptism and the commencement of his earthly teaching ministry. The theory states in brief that Christ, “after he was born a human, and before he began to discharge the office entrusted to him by God, his own Father, … was in heaven, and abode there for some time.” Christ took this heavenly sojourn “that he might hear from God himself and … see in his very presence what he was soon to proclaim and reveal to the world in God's own name.” In another place Socinus states that Jesus, “after his birth from the virgin, and before he announced the gospel, was raptured into heaven (in caelum raptus fuerit). There he learned from God himself what he was to reveal to the human race.”
