Narrates the creation of Adam and the divine warning: 'In the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die!' (Gen. 2. 17). Reports that '[p]hilosophers and anatomists seek in vain for the deathless principle, and the infidel because he finds it not, boldly asserts that there is no such thing; and when a gentle voice is heard exclaiming "I am the resurrection and the life", he thinks it but an idle fable'.
