Okay, here is my question:
Do you believe that something of us exists after the body is deceased?

Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer. —Rainer Maria Rilke
About Me
- Stasi
- I am currently staying at home and taking care of my children (born 6/08 and 7/10). In my little free time, I teach and write liturgy. My work is currently available through the clayfire project (sparkhouse publishing, a division of Augsburg). I teach for Fuller Seminary online. I am also very interested in the spirituality of food and how faith impacts the choices people make around eating. I am writing articles and perhaps one day a book on this topic.

Well, I think that, historically, the Christian hope has been in a resurrection just like Jesus. I'm not sure that this necessitates a dualist understanding of the body/soul. So, personally, I feel quite comfortable with Nancy Murphy's proposal of a non-reductive phyicalism. When I die, I will hope to someday be resurrected (but in the meantime, I will be dead).
Yeah ... what happens between death and resurrection is the big problem for a unitary view of the human person. This is one take one it: that the point is the resurrection of the body which we confess. And that the interim state is not a soul sleep or a soul anything but a mysterious conscious existence in which we are somehow maintained by God ... but about which the Bible tells us very little. What do you think?
