176 That the soul proper, in fact and name, is the rational soul, while the others are called so equivocally; wherein also is this statement, that the power of the mind extends throughout the whole body in fitting contact with every part. 177 A contemplation of the Divine utterance which said--“Let us make man after our image and likeness”; wherein is examined what is the definition of the image, and how the passible and mortal is like to the Blessed and Impassible, and how in the image there are male and female, seeing these are not in the prototype. 178 What we must answer to those who raise the question--“If procreation is after sin, how would souls have come into being if the first of mankind had remained sinless”. 179 That our irrational passions have their rise from kindred with irrational nature. 180 To those who say that the enjoyment of the good things we look for will again consist in meat and drink, because it is written that by these means man at first lived in Paradise. 181 What was the life in Paradise, and what was the forbidden tree? 182 That the resurrection is looked for as a consequence, not so much from the declaration of Scripture as from the very necessity of things. 183 To those who say, “If the resurrection is a thing excellent and good, how is it that it has not happened already, but is hoped for in some periods of time?” 184 That he who confesses the beginning of the world's existence must necessarily also agree as to its end. 185 An argument against those who say that matter is co-eternal with God. 186 How one even of those who are without may be brought to believe the Scripture when teaching of the resurrection. 187 That the resurrection is not beyond probability. 188 That it is possible, when the human body is dissolved into the elements of the universe, that each should have his own body restored from the common source. 189 To those who say that souls existed before bodies, or that bodies were formed before souls; wherein there is also a refutation of the fables concerning transmigration of souls. 190 An establishment of the doctrine that the cause of the existence of soul and body is one and the same. 191 A brief examination of the construction of our bodies from a medical point of view. 192 Argument. 193 On the Soul and the Resurrection. 194 Title Page. 195 Summary. 196 Prologue. 197 Chapter I 198 Chapter II 199 Chapter III 200 Chapter IV
