Abstract

A growing consensus understands bodily resurrection to mean that the personal identity established in an embodied history is raised up into a transphysical reality. Ongoing debate concerns the notion of a resurrection in death that would exclude an intermediate state in which separated souls await bodily resurrection on the last day. Disagreement also exists about how and at what point bodiliness is fully integrated into one's identity and whether the term soul should designate that which bears one's identity and bodiliness beyond death. The author reinterprets the intermediate state by suggesting that one's relationship to the world will be fully integrated into one's identity only with the completion of history.
