How much less ought they to insult over the unburied bodies of Christians, to whom it has been promised that the flesh itself shall be restored, and the body formed anew, all the members of it being gathered not only from the earth, but from the most secret recesses of any other of the elements in which the dead bodies of men have lain hid!PJ book footnote reference: Augustine, The City of God, I.12.

And although he had not received the purification of Baptism, there was no doubt that he was cleansed by the shedding of his own blood, and rendered fit to enter the kingdom of heaven.

The Greek point of view comes out very well in a legend inscribed in the temple of Athena at Lindos on Rhodes. When the Persian Datis was besieging Lindos in 490 the inhabitants came near the end of their supplies of water.....the next day abundant rain fell on the acropolis, and the Lindians had enough while the Persians came to be in need. Datis in admiration dedicated all his personal ornaments to Athena. In a Christian legend, he would have permanently transferred his religious allegiance.

For no one can utter the name of the ineffable God….

A reliable tradition that is both literary and archeological says his [Paul’s] martyrdom took place in 67 and at the present-day Tre Fontane on the Laurentian Way; he was beheaded with a sword because this was the only death worthy of a Roman citizen. His head bounced three times when separated from his body and gave rise to the three springs from which the place takes its name.
