Have you ever wondered why the early church fought so fiercely to defend the physical resurrection of the human body?

In Treatise on the Resurrection, second-century philosopher and apologist Athenagoras of Athens delivers one of the most intellectually rigorous and passionate defenses of life after death in early Christian literature. During an era when dominant Greek philosophies viewed the physical body as a corrupt prison for the soul, the Christian doctrine of a bodily resurrection was viewed by many intellectuals as absurd. Why would anyone want their physical form restored? Athenagoras masterfully turns classical philosophy on its head to argue that human beings are, by divine design, a perfect and permanent union of both body and soul.
