Summary: | Noting that belief in a life after death appears to be “in” once again, the present article proceeds from the conviction that belief in the Resurrection is central to Christian faith in Jesus Christ as the personal revelation of God as love. It considers the connection between faith in the Resurrection and the first disciples' witness concerning Jesus' Resurrection. It discusses the importance of bodiliness in Resurrection-faith and considers how Resurrection can best be discussed today. The conclusion is that faith in the Resurrection means believing that there is hope for love. |
