Resurrection Bodies

Matt, Derek, and Alastair try to answer Paul's question in 1 Corinthians 15:35 — and ask questions about Paul's answer.

Christ is risen indeed! In this Easter season, Matt, Alastair, and Derek turn their attention to one of the most intriguing questions ever asked by Christians, namely, what exactly will our resurrection bodies be like? The answer may be more provocative than you think.
