| Summary: | In 'Why resurrection?', Blanco argues that belief in the resurrection and the afterlife emerged in the Jewish and Christian faiths as a response to the problem of evil. As such, resurrection answers both the problem of theodicy and the question of the meaning of history itself. Will justice win and the promises of God to the faithful fulfilled? The resurrection and the afterlife answer this question positively. |
