Christians look with hope to the resurrection of the dead and the
restoration of all things. But what of those who have already died?
Do they also await these things, or have they in some sense already
happened for them? Within the Catholic theological community, this
question has traditionally been answered in terms of the
disembodied souls of human beings awaiting bodily resurrection.
Since the 1960s, Catholic theologians have proposed two
alternatives: resurrection at death into the Last Day and the
consummation of all things, or resurrection in death into an
interim state in which the embodied dead await, with us, the final
consummation of all things. This book critically examines the
Scriptural, philosophical and theological reasons for these
alternatives and, on the basis of this analysis, offers an account
of the traditional schema which makes clear that in spite of these
challenges it remains the preferable option.
