The Paschal Letter of Theophilus for the Year 402 (Translated from the Greek by Jerome) [Summary: Like the previous year's paschal letter, this one returns to the heresies of Apollinaris and Origen, tracing their common error to a false philosophy of the soul and body. Theophilus uses the Easter season as an occasion to insist on the full reality of bodily resurrection — the cornerstone that the Origenists deny and the heart of the Christian proclamation. The letter also commends the pastoral practice of almsgiving and fasting during the paschal period as a form of bodily discipline that expresses faith in the body's ultimate redemption rather than contempt for it.]
