Art of the Gnostic Gospels

The False Resurrection

"It is equally silly of these christians to suppose that… those long since dead will rise up from the earth possessing the same bodies as they did before. I ask you: Is this not the hope of worms? For what sort of human soul is it that has any use for a rotted corpse of a body? …it is nothing less than nauseating and impossible."

(Celsus On the True Doctrine, translated by R. Joseph Hoffman, Oxford University Press, 1987)
