Resurrection and moral imagination

This text explores the significance of the Resurrection for human moral imagination and moral life.

It shows that the Resurrection, contemplatively apprehended, shifts our ethically conditioned understanding of what it means to be human.

It shifts our relationship to mortality and finitude, and opens up new possibilities and sources for human life and hope.

It thereby transforms the picture of human being operative in moral thinking about justice and personal relations, as well as some of our fundamental moral concepts.
