Product Description
On The Resurrection Of The Flesh is a theological treatise written by Tertullian, a prominent Christian theologian and apologist in the early Church. The book is focused on the Christian belief in the resurrection of the body, which is the belief that after death, the body will be resurrected and reunited with the soul. Tertullian begins the book by discussing the various objections that people have to the idea of bodily resurrection, such as the idea that the body will be too decomposed to be resurrected, or that the soul is all that matters and the body is unimportant. He then goes on to explain the Christian belief in the resurrection, drawing on biblical passages and the teachings of the early Church fathers.Throughout the book, Tertullian emphasizes the importance of the physical body in Christian theology, arguing that the body is not something to be discarded or dismissed as unimportant, but rather something that is integral to our identity as human beings. He also addresses various theological questions related to the resurrection, such as whether the resurrected body will be the same as the one that died, or whether it will be transformed in some way.Overall, On The Resurrection Of The Flesh is a significant work of early Christian theology that continues to be studied and debated by scholars and theologians today.Hence it is that heretics start at once from this point, (1) from which they sketch the first draft of their dogmas, and afterwards add the details, being well aware how easily men's minds are caught by its influence, (and actuated) by that community of human sentiment which is so favourable to their designs. Is there anything else that you can hear of from the heretic, as also from the heathen, earlier in time or greater in extent?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
