Abstract
The scriptures, the liturgy, theology, the teaching of churches, the lives of the saints—in a word, the whole Christian tradition has consistently testified that human destiny is to culminate in the resurrection of the dead. The central problem with the fundamentalist understanding of resurrection is that this way of understanding portrays the resurrection as separated from or merely incidental to Jesus' life in the world. This interpretation of Jesus' resurrection claims that, as his final and greatest miracle, the resurrection absolutely proves Jesus' divinity. Precisely from the perspective of faith it is possible to see how the apologetic use of the resurrection separates it from Jesus' life. There is yet another way of understanding Jesus Resurrection which also has great currency among fundamentalists. This way appears to connect the Resurrection with Jesus' life more closely. Resurrection is the completion of divine and human love, regularly expressed in the Bible by the metaphor of a wedding banquet.
