Heathen, Opinion, Resurrection, Tradition
No. 295
TRADITIONS OR OPINIONS OF THE HEATHEN CONCERNING THE RESURRECTION. "Chrysippus concerning providence, quoted by Lactantius, Bk. 6 of his Institutions, has these words: 'Which being thus there is evidently no impossibility, but that we also, when we are dead, after a certain period of time is past, may be restored again to the same state in which we now are.' "Diogenes Laertius, in the beginning of his book, says thus of Theompompus: 'And Theompompus, in his eighth Philippic relates, as the opinion of the wise men, that men should live again, and become immortal, and everything should continue what it is.'" Zoroaster also believed the resurrection. See Clemens, Stromateis, 5. Grotius, De Veritate, Bk. 2, sec. 10. See also Clarke's Evidences, p. 204. - WJE 20:350
