bodily resurrection
Flesh restored, reawakened
Bodily resurrection is the belief that the dead will rise again in physical form, not merely as spirits.
Central to Christian theology, it holds that believers will receive transformed but tangible bodies at the end of time, as Christ did after his crucifixion: The creed affirms the resurrection of the body.
The doctrine distinguishes Christianity from traditions teaching only spiritual immortality.
