In the Apostles Creed we say:
Yet the "resurrection of the body" seems to be one of the most neglected doctrines of the present day.

Sometimes only heaven is spoken of as the goal of the believer. Interviewed by Time in 2008 senior Anglican bishop and theologian N.T. Wright spoke of “the idea of bodily resurrection that people deny when they talk about their ‘souls going to Heaven,'" adding: “I've often heard people say, ‘I'm going to heaven soon, and I won't need this stupid body there, thank goodness.’ That's a very damaging distortion, all the more so for being unintentional.”
Do you believe in the doctrine of the resurrection of the body as it was believed in the era of the Apostles Creed?
When you say the Creed, what does it mean to you?
Do you see the Apostles Creed as normative to Christian faith?
