Abstract

The article addresses the theme of resurrection. We believe that talking about faith in the resurrection requires an anthropological basis. Theological anthropology has the function of being the part of theology that is intended to reflect on the human person, in the light of Christ. The resurrection of the body means, according to biblical anthropology, the resurrection of the human being as a person. The themes of death and resurrection are now part of Sacred Scripture, now of the Tradition of the Church. Throughout the centuries one has asked: what is historical truth in the testimony about the resurrzection? Will everyone be saved after death? Is death a consequence of original sin? How to update the concepts of hell, purgatory and heaven for the present day? Addressing, today, the meaning of faith in the resurrection requires a theological language that does not clash with its true meaning.
