“Moreover also, that His power is sufficient for the raising of dead bodies, is shown by the creation of the same bodies. For if, when they do not exist, He made at their first formation the bodies of men, and their original elements, He will, when they are dissolved, in whatever manner that may take place, raise them again with equal ease: for this, too, is equally possible to Him.” Athenagoras, The Resurrection of the Dead, III, ANF 2:150
