Death & Afterlife: Christianity's Unsolvable Dilemma

In this 12th and final segment of my series: "Ideas of Death, Afterlife, and the Future in the Ancient Western World," I focus on early Christianity's biggest challenge--how to maintain faith in the literal resurrection of Jesus' body of flesh and bones, given our earliest and only eye-witness testimony to Jesus' resurrection, that of the apostle Paul, describing Jesus as a "life-giving Spirit," with a body even he can not describe. One thing is clear, Paul's view of the "resurrection" has nothing to do with corpses or flesh. Clearly apotheosis, not corpse revival.
