This ebook starts from a philosophical premise: no one will be on this planet until they're born into the realm. It examines this premise within the mild of the theological trust that delivery serves, or should serve, as a version for figuring out what resurrection might symbolize for us at the present time. finally, the trendy Christian must locate a way of realizing resurrection, and the dogma of the resurrection of the physique is vacuous until we will be able to relate it philosophically to our personal global of experience.
Nicodemus first posed the query "How can someone be born after having grown previous? Can one input a moment time into the mother's womb and be born?" This booklet reads that challenge within the context of up to date philosophy (particularly the idea of Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, and Deleuze). A phenomenology of the physique born "from below" is obvious as a paradigm for a theology of religious rebirth, and for rebirth of the physique from "on high."
The Resurrection alterations every thing in Christianity--but it's also our personal our bodies that needs to be remodeled in resurrection, as Christ is transfigured. and how during which i'm hoping to be resurrected physically in God, sooner or later, depends on the best way I reside physically at the present time.

Example text
We shouldn’t stick doggedly to principles and pit philosophy and theology against each other. There will then be no drama of atheist humanism, no resigned or despairing apprehension of a world definitively going astray. There will simply be a question addressed to both the philosopher and the theologian—at least insofar as the two often come together in the integration of the same life experience. Do atheism, and the positive affirmation of finitude that goes with it, have something to say to Christianity?
The phenomenologist does not accuse the theologian here of reading and practicing philosophy. ” In short, it is not a good idea to go directly from the “nontheism” that exists in philosophy as elsewhere to the pure and simple negation of God in an “antitheism” or militant atheism. The difficulty, as Maurice Merleau-Ponty understands it, is not that one can see things differently—and philosophers even more than theologians agree today in thinking that to see differently is not necessarily to misconstrue or totally misunderstand.
Atheism from the Theologian’s Viewpoint Maurice Merleau-Ponty in his famous lecture at the Collège de France (“In Praise of Philosophy”), which was almost contemporaneous with the accusation of the “drama” by Henri de Lubac (), already criticized such attitudes among Christians. “One bypasses philosophy when one defines it as atheism,” Merleau-Ponty pertinently stressed. ” The reproach is clear and needs to be remembered today. The phenomenologist does not accuse the theologian here of reading and practicing philosophy.
