Summary: | The article examines the subject of the resurrection in dialogue with modern approaches of Orthodox theology and iconographic and patristic sources. Its premise is that the resurrection of Christ is the beginning and prototype of the resurrection of human beings. The article portrays the path of humanity towards the resurrection of the dead at the eschaton or end of time as a dynamic of transparency for God, as a history of love and as a pilgrimage. The liturgical practice of the Orthodox Church acts as an inspiration for an 'eschatology of the present', for experiencing the 'now' of the resurrection. |
