Thomas Carlyle ('Heroes and Hero Worship and The Heroic in History', 1840)

Paul in his letter to the Corinthians admitted the centrality of this doctrine to the entire body of Christian faith: "Tell me, if Christ is preached as raised from the dead, how is it that some of you say there is no resurrection of the dead?

De La Martaine ('Historie de la Turquie'. Paris, 1854)
