    Theology - Soteriology: Awakening

    [Print] | [PDF] | [Email]

    What is the resurrection like?  Paul says, like a tree that grows from the planted seed of our body; like the glory of a brighter star.

    Or this, as Hamann puts it in his London notebooks, in a comment on Genesis 2:21-23: “Adam awakes as the dead of which David says, in order to praise the Lord (Psalm 88:10).  With this joy will we from deep death-sleep (Todensschlafe) awake and see the transformation of our bones and our flesh as Adam his rib.  So will be the sleep of His beloved (Psalm 127:2).”

    Perhaps this captures Hamann’s point: As Adam awoke to find a single bone transformed into a suitable companion to him, we will awake to discover our entire flesh similarly transformed and glorified.
