WHAT DOES RESURRECTION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

resurrection

Resurrection

Resurrection is the concept of a living being coming back to life after death. It is a religious concept, where it is used in two distinct respects: a belief in the resurrection of individual souls that is current and ongoing, or else a belief in a singular "Resurrection of the Dead" event at the end of the world. The Resurrection of the Dead is a standard eschatological belief in the Abrahamic religions. In a number of ancient religions, a life-death-rebirth deity is a deity which dies and resurrects. The death and resurrection of Jesus is the central focus of Christianity. The soul is believed by some to be the divine and immortal part of the human being, and some believe it is the actual vehicle by which people are resurrected. However, theological debate ensues with regard to what kind of resurrection is factual – either a spiritual resurrection with a spirit body, or a material resurrection with a restored human body. While most Christians believe Jesus' resurrection was in a material body, a very small minority believe it was spiritual.

Definition of resurrection in the English dictionary

The first definition of resurrection in the dictionary is a supposed act or instance of a dead person coming back to life. Other definition of resurrection is belief in the possibility of this as part of a religious or mystical system. Resurrection is also the condition of those who have risen from the dead.
