On the Resurrection Body: Cannibals, Crocodiles and Corpses

This post is an abridged version of chapter fourteen of my book The Quest for the Creed – Twenty Short Chapters on the Apostles Creed.

Any school child that thinks about the resurrection of the body soon starts asking delightfully gruesome questions. After all, if they’ve ever seen a cat hit by a car, then been to a funeral and seen Uncle Mitch in the casket, and watched the coffin being lowered into the ground they have a pretty good idea what happens.

It doesn’t take long to figure out that dead bodies decay and that Uncle Mitch, who sat them on his knee for a story and gave them huge bowls of ice cream now lies very still in a box and will soon go all gooey like the cat by the roadside.

Praise the Lord
