How ought Christian faith and theology understand the concept of
human immortality today? And what, if anything, might be
distinctively Christian about such a concept? The contributors to
this volume explore how our thinking about the prospect of human
immortality is decisively determined by what we receive of the
limitless life of the triune God of the gospel, and how our
understanding of immortality is made concrete by the Christian hope
in 'the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting'. Debates
about how best to understand the eternal life of God are directly
significant to how we can imagine the promise of eternal life.
While immortality is generally conceived to be a future
qualification of human reality, theological approaches to the
question of personal immortality must investigate the difference
that the hope and promise of such eternal life makes in the living
of present-day spiritual life as well as in our common moral and
political existence. To understand immortality as an eschatological
gift of God requires that we take account of it as a formative
factor at the foundations of the Christian life.
