This book begins by arguing that early Greek reflection on the
afterlife and immortality insisted on the importance of the
physical body whereas a wealth of Jewish texts from the Hebrew
Bible, Second Temple Judaism and early (Pauline) Christianity
understood post-mortem existence to be that of the soul alone.
Changes begin to appear in the later New Testament where the
importance of the afterlife of the physical body became essential,
and such thoughts continued into the period of the early Church
where the significance of the physical body in post-mortem
existence became a point of theological orthodoxy. This book will
assert that the influx of Greco-Romans into the early Church
changed the direction of Christian thought towards one which
included the body. At the same time, the ideological and polemical
thrust of an eternal tortuous afterlife for the wicked became
essential.
