CORRESPONDANCE WITH ALVARO In 840 Bodo began a correspondence with the knight Pablo Alvaro of Cordova (Cordova was also a Muslim area of Spain). Alvaro was born a Jew, but had converted to Christianity. Because Bodo and Alvaro were both converts, they began a dialogue to try to convince each other to go back to their old faith. Many of their letters have been preserved. The source of the following letter is disputed, but it is attributed to Bodo: As for your assertion that Christ is God, joined with the Holy Spirit, and you worship him because he had no human father, then along with him you ought to worship Adam the father of the human race, who had neither father nor mother, whose flesh, blood, bones and skin were created from clay. Breath was put in him by the Holy Spirit , and he became an intelligent being. Then too, Eve was created from Adam's rib without a father or mother, and breath came into her and she became intelligent. So worship them too! {Link without Title} SEE ALSO REFERENCES
