Death in the christian faith: na interdisciplinary reading

Abstract

This article reflects on death, starting from an interdisciplinary approach between Philosophy, Psychology. Recently Theology has sought to develop studies that reflect more the relation between life and death and not only between death and beyond. In the dialogue with other areas of knowledge, it seeks to study different approaches to the same reality, integrating the approach in the horizon of Christian faith. After dealing with the current reality of death and dying, different interpretations are analyzed about death and the fear it may signify. Finally, the notion of death in Christianity is described, concentrating on the Holy Scripture and Tradition, in order to retrieve the elements that allow Christians to reintegrate the meaning of dying and living.
