This Sunday’s lectionary reading, Third before Advent in Year C, is Luke 20.27-38. The narrative recounts an exchange between Jesus and the Sadducees, who do not believe in bodily resurrection, and so offers an immediate answer to the question of our post-mortem hope. But Jesus’ answer also gives a window into some key aspects of biblical anthropology—that is, how the Bible construes human bodily existence—and this has some very contemporary applications.

James and Ian discuss the textual and theological issues involved.
