For many, the Christian hope is to go to heaven when you die. The place of the body is often overlooked in this conception, especially when heaven itself is viewed as an escape from creation. The Biblical teaching on resurrection, however, reminds us that redemption is the triumph of God's purposes within our bodies and creation, rather than apart from them. This lecture series will examine the specifically Christian understanding of bodies, death, the intermediate state in heaven, and glorified bodies in a new creation.
