Abstract

This thesis concerns the biblical doctrine of life after death. The issue to be resolved is whether the bibli­cal doctrine of life after death is expressed in terms of man's inherent immortality or is expressed as a hope for per­sonal resurrection from the dead. The goal of the thesis is to describe the biblical doctrine of life after death and present it in such a way that it is particularly relevant to our society. In the paper, the question of immortality or resurrection is pre­sented in chapter one. The conclusion of the chapter is that immortality grows out of a dualistic anthropology, whereas resurrection grows out of a monistic anthropology.
