,What is the meaning of the word "parousia"? - Answer: The imminent coming—
second coming


How was the general resurrection seen within the Pharisaic tradition? - Answer: It
was eventually seen as the ground of hope not only for Israel's vindication, but for
the apocalyptic revelation of God's mercy upon all nations.


For Jesus, is the resurrection merely connected with the idea of a just retribution?
Why or why not? - Answer: No. It is connected with God's faithful love


How do the Gospel narratives present the death and resurrection of Jesus? -
Answer: They present Jesus' death and resurrection, not as a personal privilege of
Jesus, but as the culmination of God's action for us and for our salvation.


What is "divine life" all about? - Answer: Life unto death for others is what divine
life is all about.


Sachs states that "it is the same Jesus, who died and was buried" who was now
alive after the resurrection. He also holds that the resurrected Jesus was not the
same. What does this mean? - Answer: He is not a corpse resuscitated, living as
he once did. Jesus does not "return" to life in the sense of going back to his
former state of living. Rather, through the power of the Spirit, God brings him
"forward," through death, to a new fullness and intensity of life.

hope and an effective pledge of future glory only if Christians can
somehow experience the presence and activity of the risen Lord here and now in
the power of the Spirit.


What is the pattern or form of Christian life under the Lordship of Christ? -
Answer: Death and Resurrection—the participation of the Christian in the Paschal
Mystery


How is it that the resurrection of the body already begins now while we are alive?
- Answer: The bodily action of individual men and women forgiven and
empowered by grace


Christological Doctrines - Answer: Affirmations of the Church in regard to its
theological understanding of the person and work of Jesus Christ.


Christological doctrines - Answer: 1. Early Christian communities lived their faith
without giving much thought to Christological doctrines. Many in these
communities had personal experience with the Jesus of history and this
experience was sufficient to sustain their faith.
