The concept of Concession in Christianity

In Early Christianity, the concept of Concession involves the act of conceding certain points to opponents, even when these points do not undermine the main argument of the faith. This strategy acknowledges the validity of some opposing views without altering the core beliefs regarding the resurrection of bodies. By allowing concessions, early Christians aimed to engage in meaningful discourse while maintaining the integrity of their fundamental doctrines.
