This is Part Three of a three part series on Acts 1:9-11 and the Ascension. It is mainly concerned with the question by critics about what the phrase "in like manner" means here.

Resurrection Predicted in Genesis
We start off by reading some listener feedback, which notes that most of the confusion about the Resurrection within the Preterist movement comes from a misunderstanding of the opening chapters of Genesis.
