In a time when many invent fictions to deny the resurrection of the flesh, John Calvin drives home the clear testimony of Scripture: the very bodies we now possess—temples of the Holy Spirit and members of Christ—will be raised, transformed from corruption to incorruption. In Institutes of the Christian Religion Book 3, Chapter 25 (Sections 8–9), he refutes those who imagine new bodies, explains the manner of the final change at the trumpet’s sound, and addresses how the ungodly too will rise, not to life but to judgment, rendering them without excuse before the tribunal of Christ.
