Overview
The opinions concerning the eternal life were very confused in the 2nd and 3rd centuries. Many philosophers and Gnostics opposed the concept of a resurrection of the body. Pseudo-Justin, Athenagoras of Athens and Tertullian answer the criticism and explained why and how resurrection is possible.
