Preface
The normal procedure in a work of this kind, and one which the apostle
Paul himself followed, would be to lay the foundation before attempting to
build. But 'circumstances alter cases', and we write primarily for those who
believe the Scriptures and acknowledge the Saviour as Lord, but who need
particular help in the Dispensational aspects of truth. This phase and
emphasis has been the essential and peculiar character of The Berean
Expositor and its publications since 1909. An Alphabetical Analysis of terms
used in the study of Dispensational Truth is now a finished publication, but
it was felt that an additional series was called for that would deal with
essential fundamental doctrines.

To attempt a Doctrinal Analysis as wide in scope as the one dealing
with Dispensational Truth is not our intention. In the first place, many
items overlap, and for the instructed reader, what has already been
written concerning The Ages, Adoption, etc., under the Dispensational
heading, will give all that an analysis of this nature can provide. We were,
however, somewhat concerned to exclude such fundamentals as the Inspiration
of Scripture, Justification by Faith, Sacrifice, Offering and the Deity of
Christ from the analysis, consequently we have prepared two volumes,
necessarily excluding many a subject that pressed for insertion, yet
comprehensive enough to ensure that the outstanding items of the faith should
not be altogether passed over. We trust the reader will keep these self -
imposed limitations clearly in mind as he notices either subjects that are
omitted or, if included, that are treated with great brevity. The first
outline which we prepared for this new analysis, demanded a greater number of
volumes than did the Dispensational series, but for obvious reasons, this has
not been followed. We nevertheless hope that what has been included, and
what has been said, may round off the witness and enhance the value of this
attempt to present the teaching of the Word in such a form that it may
continually become:

'Seed to the sower, and bread to the eater' (Isa. 55:10).
TO THE READER

A distinction has been made in the type used to indicate subsidiary
headings from those which are of first importance.

Titles of main articles are printed in Helvetica bold type capitals,
and are placed in the centre of the page, thus:

ATONEMENT

Titles of subsidiary articles are printed in Helvetica bold type small
capitals, and are placed at the left -hand margin of the paragraph, thus:

Family

Cross References

Cross references to articles in Parts 1 to 5 and 7 to 10 of
An Alphabetical Analysis, are indicated by superscript numbers. For example:

Sons of God4 refers to the article with that heading in Part 4 of An
Alphabetical Analysis.

Resurrection4,7 refers to the articles with that heading in Parts 4 and 7,
respectively, of An Alphabetical Analysis.

If the reference is to another page in this book, the page number is
printed in brackets after the title of the article. For example:

Faith (p. 200) refers to the article with that heading on page 200 of this
book.

Structures

Where the meaning of a term can be illuminated by the structure of the
section in which the term occurs, that structure is given, and as the scope
of a passage is of first importance in the interpretation of any of its
parts, these structures, which are not 'inventions' but 'discoveries' of what
is actually present, should be used in every attempt to arrive at a true
understanding of a term, phrase or word that is under review. Under the
heading Interpretation2, the uninitiated believer will receive an explanation
and an illustration of this unique feature of Holy Scripture. In like
manner, other exegetical apparatus such as Figures of Speech, and all such
helps, are indicated under the same main heading.

Received Text (Textus Receptus)

This is the Greek New Testament from which the Authorized Version of
the Bible was prepared. Comments in this Analysis are made with this version
in mind.

Where there are textual variances between the Received Text and the
Nestle Greek Text (or other critical texts) such variances are noted. The
phrase 'in the Received Text' is printed in brackets next to the word or
words in question.
References to the Septuagint Versions (LXX)

When verifying Charles H. Welch's references to Greek words in the LXX
and to the English translation given, we have sometimes been unable to find
the Greek or the translation provided.

Examples:

(1) Page 151, line 6; Mr. Welch quotes ekleipo.

We can find enapethanen in the Greek that accompanies Sir
Lancelot Charles Lee Benton's English translation, and apathanen
in the Concordance to the LXX by Abrahami Trommi, published in
1718.

(2) Page 323, lines 13 and 14; Mr. Welch states that a verbal form of
epilusis occurs in the LXX of Genesis 41:12.

We can only find the verbal form of epilusis, namely epiluein, in
Genesis 41:12, in Aquila's version of the LXX. Epiluein also
occurs in Aquila's version of Genesis 40:8 and 41:8, and
Theodotion's version of Hosea 3:4.

If any reader knows of other English translations that Mr. Welch may
have used, the publishers will be pleased to be informed of them.

It should be remembered that there are several versions of the Greek
Old Testament, for instance:

Codex Sinaiticus
Codex Alexandrinus
Codex Vaticanus
Codex Ephraemi

For further study, see Volume of the Book7, and the book entitled The
Volume of the Book written by Charles H. Welch.

Absent

'Absent from the body' (2 Cor. 5:8)

In Matthew 15:9 the Lord is recorded to have said to some of His
hearers, 'In vain they do worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments
of men'. In Mark 7:9,13 He said, 'Full well ye reject the commandment of
God, that ye may keep your own tradition ... making the word of God of none
effect through your tradition'.

Whenever we hear a portion of Scripture persistently misquoted, we can
be sure that traditional belief is obscuring the vision, and distorting the
Scriptures. The passage before us is a case in point. Over and over again
it is quoted as though it read:

'Absent from the body is to be present with the Lord'; whereas, instead
of making an assertion, the apostle expressed a choice between two
alternatives, saying:

'We are confident, I say, and willing Rather to be absent from the
body, and to be present with the Lord' (2 Cor. 5:8).

His ground of confidence was in God Who hath wrought us for the self -
same thing, Who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. Nowhere
in Scripture do we learn that we have been thus 'wrought' in order to attain
unto an intermediate or unclothed state; nowhere in Scripture do we learn
that we have received the earnest of the Spirit for an intermediate state,
but always for resurrection glory. This is the background of all that the
apostle has said in 2 Corinthians 5. The tent or earthly house in which we
now pass our pilgrimage will one day be dissolved or taken down, but the
blessed alternative is not some 'unclothed' condition, but a building of God,
an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. The goal of the
apostle's desire was 'that mortality might be swallowed up of life'. This
figure is a repeat of 1 Corinthians 15:54 where we read:

'So When this corruptible shall have put on incorruption (which refers
to those who have died), and this mortal shall have put on immortality
(which refers to those still living at the time), Then (and not till
then) shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is
swallowed up in victory'.

Whether there be an intermediate state or not is not discussed in 2
Corinthians 5. All we know from that chapter is that an 'unclothed'
condition was something which the apostle did not desire, and it satisfies
our intentions in this Analysis, if the positive teaching of any word or
doctrine examined shall be demonstrated and accepted. A parallel passage is
found in Philippians 1:23 and is discussed under the heading Depart .
Further light can be received by pondering the meaning of the Saviour's
words, 'This day shalt thou be with Me in paradise' (see Paradise7), which
quotation we purposely leave here, unpunctuated. Three other articles should
be considered where a greater range of teaching is possible, namely
Immortality (p. 316); Resurrection4,7; and Soul7. Sidelights will also be
found in pondering Sleep7 and the articles entitled Immortality of the soul
in The Berean Expositor Vol. 1. May 'the blessed hope' in all its Scriptural
splendour be ever before our renewed minds. Let us set our affection on
things above where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

Account. Logizomai which is translated 'account' is also rendered 'reckon'
and 'impute'. This aspect of the term is considered under the heading,
Reckoning7, which see. There are eight occurrences of the word, 'account' in
which the Greek word so rendered is logos where it is used of 'giving
account' as of a stewardship, which must here be given a place. The passages
are as follows:
