The heretics against whom this work is directed, were the same who maintained that the demiurge, or the god who created this world and gave the Mosaic dispensation, was opposed to the supreme God. Hence they attached an idea of inherent corruption and worthlessness to all his works--amongst the rest, to the flesh or body of man; affirming that it could not rise again, and that the soul alone was capable of inheriting immortality.

Quintus Septimius Florens Tertullianus was born at Carthage of heathen parentage probably about A.D. 160. Shortly after 190 he became a Christian. As a man of excellent education and a ready writer in both Greek and Latin, a practicing barrister also, skillful in the presentation of a case, he began at once to write in defense of the faith.

This was written by our author in confutation of certain heretics who denied the reality of Christ's flesh, or at least its identity with human flesh--fearing that, if they admitted the reality of Christ's flesh, they must also admit his resurrection in the flesh; and, consequently, the resurrection of the human body after death. They who are so anxious to shake that belief in the resurrection which was firmly settled before the appearance of our modern Sadducees, as even to deny that the expectation thereof has any relation whatever to the flesh, have great cause for besetting the flesh of Christ also with doubtful questions, as if it either had no existence at all, or possessed a nature altogether different from human flesh. For they cannot but be apprehensive that, if it be once determined that Christ's flesh was human, a presumption would immediately arise in opposition to them, that that flesh must by all means rise again, which has already risen in Christ. Therefore, we shall have to guard our belief in the resurrection from the same armory, whence they get their weapons of destruction. Let us examine our Lord's bodily substance, for about His spiritual nature all are agreed. It is His flesh that is in question. Its verity and quality are the points in dispute. Did it ever exist? whence was it derived? And of what kind was it? If we succeed in demonstrating it, we shall lay down a law for our own resurrection.

Excerpt from Tertullian Concerning the Resurrection of the Flesh The choice of further works of Tertullian as subjects for translation in this series was determined by the list of the more important works of Tertullian given by Dr. Swete in his Patristic Study (London, 1902), p. 145. Among these appears the De Carnis Resurrectione; and certainly, whether it be considered from the point of view of subject-matter or of style, it is one of the most significant and valuable of its author's writings. At the present time its reading may be especially commended to the bereaved, at least to such of them as value Scripture teaching, as being likely to afford them much more solid comfort than they will get from spiritualistic seances. In this work, composed with great care, Tertullian shows more traces of rhetorical training than usual (cf. c. 5). In the wonderful c. 12 he even blossoms into poetry. I cannot name a more suitable introduction to the study of his works than this De Carnis Resurrectione. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In "On the Flesh of Christ," Tertullian delves into the profound mystery of the Incarnation, exploring the central doctrine of Christianity-the Word becoming flesh in Jesus Christ. With theological depth and fervor, Tertullian elucidates the significance and implications of this divine mystery, addressing questions of Christ's nature, purpose, and redemptive work. Drawing from Scripture and early Christian tradition, he unfolds the profound truths of the Incarnation and its impact on humanity's salvation. "On the Flesh of Christ" stands as a timeless testament to Tertullian's theological insight and his unwavering commitment to the truth of the Gospel.
