In dealing with Luke 16:19-31, and the subject of the so-called 'intermediate state, Bullinger states: "it is important that we should confine ourselves to the Word of God, and not go to tradition". He continues, "It is absolutely impossible that the traditional interpretation can be correct, because, if it were, it would be directly opposed to all the other teaching of Scripture."
In this booklet, before analysing the story itself, the author considers a number of issues like Hades, the Apostles Creed, Christ's words to the dying thief, "absent from the body" and Paul's desire in Philippians 1:23. The so-called parable itself is seen in the light of the traditions of the Pharisees and the reader may be surprised at how much of an influence these traditions had on early Christianity and how some still permeate our thinking today.
