The goal of this thesis is to show Joseph Ratzinger Benedict XVI.’s view on the resurrection from an eschatological, biblical and liturgical perspective and, in doing so, emphasizing the relation that is found between them while also bringing forth a few practical instructions on how to live on a daily basis with the awareness of the aforementioned resurrection. Having presented the turn in understanding death and resurrection the thesis will interpret the New Testament’s faith in the resurrection, and after that the place which the truth of resurrection holds within Christianity and the relation between resurrection and corporeality. In the second chapter are presented multiple distinct events and parables from the Gospel whose real meaning is revealed under the light of resurrection. The celebration of Christ’s resurrection in Church liturgy is the theme of the third chapter. The last chapter features the specifics of Ratzinger’s theology during his speech about the resurrection of Christ, which also brings forth a few advices about living with the awareness of said resurrection, leaning into the thoughts of French thinker Fabrice Hadjadj. With that we come to the conclusion that for Ratzinger it is the faith in the resurrection that forms the core of the Christian faith, and only by starting with the resurrection, which is celebrated and presents itself in Church liturgy, can we entirely understand the Holy Scripture.
