  1 1     |                 I. THE DOCTRINE OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE BODY BROUGHT TO LIGHT
  2 1     | INCONSISTENCIES OF PAGAN TEACHING.~The resurrection of the dead is the Christian'
  3 1     |            errors, does not ignore the resurrection of the dead.~
  4 2     |         Himself, certain proofs of the resurrection of the dead. It is, however,
  5 2     |             they allow a moiety of the resurrection; that is, simply of the
  6 2     |                presumption against the resurrection, since the flesh is already
  7 2     |                be defeated also on the resurrection of the flesh. No procedure,
  8 2     |            begin with doubts about the resurrection; for there is greater difficulty
  9 2     |            difficulty in believing the resurrection of the flesh than the oneness
 10 2     |              the net vanquished on the resurrection of the flesh, before they
 11 2     |                now only to discuss the resurrection of the flesh, (treating
 12 2     |               our doctrine. For if the resurrection of the flesh be denied,
 13 3     |            from you to acknowledge the resurrection of the flesh, than for you
 14 10    |               the flesh thrust off its resurrection, why shall not its high
 15 11    |                COMPETENT TO EFFECT THE RESURRECTION OF THE FLESH.~Thus far touching
 16 11    |             flesh as they who deny the resurrection of the flesh, inasmuch as
 17 12    |           NATURE WHICH CORROBORATE THE RESURRECTION OF THE FLESH.~Consider now
 18 12    |            things bears witness to the resurrection of the dead. In His works
 19 13    |                IS MADE A SYMBOL OF THE RESURRECTION OF OUR BODIES.~If, however,
 20 13    |                but faintly figures our resurrection; if creation affords no
 21 13    |                in Arabia are sure of a resurrection?~
 22 14    |               SUFFICIENT CAUSE FOR THE RESURRECTION OF THE FLESH OCCURS IN THE
 23 14    |         sufficient weight to claim the resurrection of the flesh as necessary
 24 14    |            just such a judgment as the resurrection shall achieve. The entire
 25 14    |                rather necessity of the resurrection, will be this, namely, that
 26 16    |              certainly received in the resurrection.~
 27 18    |           PASSAGES CLEARLY ASSERT "THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD." THE FORCE
 28 18    |               THE FLESH IN THE GENERAL RESURRECTION.~Thus far it has been my
 29 18    |             Scriptures which promise a resurrection of the flesh. Now, inasmuch
 30 18    |            gaze of all men: it is "The Resurrection of the Dead." These words
 31 18    |            mortal it shall attain to a resurrection; this would afford a presumption
 32 18    |                would share in the same resurrection. But our present point is
 33 18    |       indicates. Now, just as the term resurrection is predicated of that which
 34 18    |            because what is called "the resurrection of the dead" indicates the
 35 18    |              it follows that when "the resurrection of the dead" is spoken of,
 36 19    |                HERETICS ON THE PHRASE "RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD," AS IF IT MEANT
 37 19    |              described doctrine of the resurrection of the dead, alleging that
 38 19    |            also must be held to be the resurrection, when a man is reanimated
 39 19    |               by faith attained to the resurrection, are with the Lord after
 40 19    |            brethren, as if they held a resurrection of the dead as well as we.
 41 19    |                they at once denied the resurrection. Secretly, however, in their
 42 19    |            this, in their view, is the resurrection. There are however, a great
 43 19    |                who, claiming to hold a resurrection after the soul's departure,
 44 21    |            MERE METAPHOR IN THE PHRASE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD. IN PROPORTION
 45 21    |              in that phrase, where the resurrection might be spiritually understood?
 46 21    |                so obviously attest the resurrection of the body, as to admit
 47 21    |            inasmuch as the hope of the resurrection, unless it be clearly set
 48 21    |            depend on the issues of the resurrection. Now, if even those purposes
 49 22    |              SUPPOSING EITHER THAT THE RESURRECTION IS ALREADY PAST, OR THAT
 50 22    |            forbid our belief in such a resurrection as is held by your Animalists (
 51 22    |              that is, no doubt, at the resurrection, after all these things

 53 23    |             COMPATIBLE WITH THE FUTURE RESURRECTION OF THE BODY, WHICH IS EVEN
 54 23    |               have to undergo a bodily resurrection. In so many words he says: "
 55 23    |                  I might attain to the resurrection of the dead. Not as though
 56 23    |                attain it;" meaning the resurrection from the dead in its proper

 58 24    |               to them the times of the resurrection, saying, "For if we believe
 59 25    |               prerogative of the first resurrection may be ordained from the
 60 25    |                the final and universal resurrection may be determined out of
 61 25    |               heretics pretend about a resurrection here falls to the ground;
 62 25    |         mystery (of divine truth) is a resurrection, that there is, without
 63 25    |          maintenance of this spiritual resurrection amounts to a presumption
 64 25    |             favour of the other bodily resurrection; for if none were announced
 65 25    |             only this purely spiritual resurrection. Inasmuch, however, as (
 66 25    |               Inasmuch, however, as (a resurrection) is proclaimed for the last
 67 25    |               second announcement of a resurrection of only one character, that
 68 25    |                to maintain a spiritual resurrection a the commencement of a
 69 26    |         SCRIPTURES POINT TO THE BODILY RESURRECTION, THE ONLY SENSE WHICH SECURES
 70 26    |                bodily character of the resurrection by means of the language
 71 27    |    METAPHORICAL TERMS EXPLAINED OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE FLESH.~We have also
 72 27    |           flesh, which he declared the resurrection of, after its fall in death.
 73 27    |             allegorical defence of the resurrection of the body. When, then,
 74 27    |               the great process of the resurrection.~
 75 28    |              and also by deeds, is the resurrection foretold. When Moses puts
 76 28    |            that He kills, it is by the resurrection that He will make alive.
 77 28    |                 will be revived by the resurrection. Surely if killing means
 78 29    |             Writ, throw light upon the resurrection of the flesh (although without
 79 30    |       INTERPRETED BY TERTULLIAN OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE BODIES OF THE DEAD.
 80 30    |               a true prediction of the resurrection, for (they say) the state
 81 30    |               Therefore the image of a resurrection is allegorically applied
 82 30    |               there be after death? No resurrection from the dead, of course,
 83 30    |              to Ezekiel. Well, but the resurrection is elsewhere foretold: so
 84 30    |            different recovery from the resurrection which we are maintaining,
 85 30    |               provided there be also a resurrection of the body, just as there
 86 30    |            belief. Since, however, the resurrection of the dead was indeed foretold,
 87 30    |        crumbling grave, despaired of a resurrection; or rather, did not direct
 88 30    |              to him the process of the resurrection, with a view to his earnest
 89 30    |              refusing to believe their resurrection, the very bones which were
 90 31    |                PROPHETS APPLIED TO THE RESURRECTION OF THE FLESH.~Unquestionably,
 91 31    |               although the hope of the resurrection had very frequently failed
 92 31    |                that their faith in the resurrection was shaken. God, therefore
 93 31    |            must have been to testify a resurrection, in order to raise the nation'
 94 32    |               consigned to tombs whose resurrection is foretold, you have it
 95 32    |            emphatically to express the resurrection of such bodies as have even
 96 32    |               all the incidents of the resurrection; or else, if there is any
 97 33    |               A CLEAR REFERENCE TO THE RESURRECTION OF THE FLESH.~This is evidence
 98 33    |                 or the kingdom, or the resurrection: "It shall be more tolerable,"
 99 33    |              recompensed to you at the resurrection of the just." Now, if the
100 33    |                kingdom of God, and the resurrection) has a plain and absolute
101 33    |               the judgment, and of the resurrection. On the contrary, things
102 33    |              and the judgment, and the resurrection. And now we proceed to the
103 33    |               whenever He mentions the resurrection, at the same time without
104 34    |               PLAINLY TESTIFIES TO THE RESURRECTION OF THE ENTIRE MAN. NOT IN
105 34    |         asserts the full extent of the resurrection. For He assigns to each
106 34    |          believed;" since, even if the resurrection of the flesh must be denied
107 35    |               whence we learn that the resurrection of the dead is a resurrection
108 35    |          resurrection of the dead is a resurrection of the flesh; for unless
109 35    |               then, the body after the resurrection has to be killed by God
110 35    |             which await it, namely the resurrection of the flesh, and its eternal "
111 36    |               away altogether with the resurrection, for the Sadducees in fact
112 36    |       impairing the credibility of the resurrection, they adapted an argument
113 36    |          subject to marriage after the resurrection; and they assumed the case
114 36    |            Sadducees indeed denied the resurrection, whilst the Lord affirmed
115 36    |          course which had declared the resurrection as well as incredulous of
116 36    |             was being denied, even the resurrection of the dead before Him who
117 36    |              that it was, in fact, the resurrection of the two natures of man.
118 36    |              them "the children of the resurrection," in a certain sense having
119 36    |            certain sense having by the resurrection to undergo a birth; and
120 36    |                Christian Sadducees the resurrection of the entire man.~
121 37    |                is there to destroy the resurrection of the flesh? As if there
122 37    |            that have done good, to the resurrection of life; and they that have
123 37    |               have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation," none will
124 38    |                WAY THE DOCTRINE OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE FLESH.~After the
125 38    |               men's belief in a future resurrection, then it must follow from
126 38    |                examples, that the said resurrection will be a bodily one. I
127 38    |           allow it to be said that the resurrection of the future, being destined
128 38    |           impossible to have shown the resurrection of an invisible soul except
129 38    |                show us a sample of the resurrection without the flesh, He might
130 38    |               as the evidence of their resurrection without the body, so as
131 38    |             deemed the less I mean the resurrection of the soul only should
132 38    |             were indeed a proof of the resurrection both of the flesh and of
133 39    |              Apostles, too, attest the resurrection. Now the apostles had nothing
134 39    |             nothing new concerning the resurrection, besides announcing it to
135 39    |            question as to what sort of resurrection it was to be, and without
136 39    |              easier was it to deny the resurrection altogether, than to understand
137 39    |              Pharisee; of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am now called
138 39    |          article of the faith even the resurrection. That belief, therefore,
139 39    |              belief, therefore, in the resurrection which he would not appear
140 39    |                maintaining just such a resurrection as the prophets had foretold.
141 39    |              by "Moses ", touching the resurrection of the dead; (and in so
142 39    |             Paul to announce any other resurrection. They had, in fact, derided
143 39    |              when the preaching of the resurrection, of which they had previously
144 40    |              life, not there after the resurrection, were our renewal is not
145 40    |             the view of nullifying the resurrection. So also he says elsewhere: "
146 40    |               the sense of missing the resurrection, but of enduring tribulation
147 41    |         TABERNACLE CONSISTENT WITH THE RESURRECTION OF OUR BODIES.~It is still
148 41    |               better house through the resurrection. Just as the Lore also promises
149 42    |            obtain the change after the resurrection. For from this circumstance
150 42    |          sprout into life again in the resurrection. Lastly, even if everything
151 43    |              meant, then undoubtedly a resurrection of the body is implied;
152 43    |         concluding clause, wherein the resurrection of the flesh is set forth;
153 44    |           except in our body after its resurrection? Therefore he adds in the
154 47    |            also in the likeness of His resurrection." By a figure we die in

157 48    |               THE GREAT CHAPTER OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD EXPLAINED IN
158 48    |                of the Lord's death and resurrection, for the purpose of deducing
159 48    |             among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? If there be
160 48    |               the dead? If there be no resurrection of the dead, then Christ
161 48    |           throughout this passage? The resurrection of the dead, you say, which
162 48    |            which he adduced the Lord's resurrection. Certainly, you say. Well
163 48    |            death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead." (This he says)
164 48    |               Adam of death, Christ of resurrection; and, on the other hand,
165 48    |                other hand, to make the resurrection operate on the same substance
166 48    |         another in anticipation of the resurrection; for unless it were a bodily
167 48    |                unless it were a bodily resurrection, there would be no pledge
168 48    |              unfaltering belief in the resurrection of the flesh. For useless

185 52    |               he adds: "So also is the resurrection of the dead." How so? In
186 52    |             For again, predicating the resurrection of the same substance and
