resurrection of the dead

Corpses rising again

Resurrection of the dead is the belief that deceased humans will be restored to life, typically at the end of time or on a day of judgment.

The doctrine appears in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, though details differ—some traditions envision bodily resurrection, others spiritual transformation.

The creed affirms belief in the resurrection of the dead and the life everlasting.

Distinguished from resurrection of an individual, which refers to a single person being raised, as in accounts of Jesus or Lazarus.
