TY - JOUR AU - Gasparov, Igor PY - 2021/03/31 Y2 - 2024/03/28 TI - The “Falling Elevator” and Resurrection from the Dead JF - European Journal for Philosophy of Religion JA - EJPR VL - 13 IS - 1 SE - Research Articles DO - 10.24204/ejpr.v13i1.2909 UR - https://philosophy-of-religion.eu/index.php/ejpr/article/view/2909 SP - 83-102 AB - <p lang="en-US">In the paper I argue that the "falling elevator" model once proposed by Dean Zimmerman to improve some drawbacks of Peter van Inwagen's account of how a belief in Christian resurrection could be made compatible with a materialist understanding of human persons is not satisfactory. Christian resurrection requires not only a survival, but also true death of a person, while the falling elevator can merely provide us with an account of how a material person is able miraculously to escape its own death.</p> ER -
