Nel quadro della vita ecclesiale e sociale di oggi i fondamenti culturali più capaci di delineare delle caratteristiche di vita aperte e liberanti appaiono quelli derivanti da analisi ed interpretazioni serie ed appassionate delle Scritture bibliche. E nella Chiesa di Gesù Cristo catechesi, liturgia e carità sociale risultano dall’antichità le assi portanti della sua azione ed esistenza, sia pure certamente secondo peculiarità specifiche delle diverse confessioni cristiane.

How did belief in the resurrection arise within Judaism in the two centuries before Christ? Earlier texts (Psalm 88 and Job 3) attest the ancient Jewish belief that the dead have a shadowy existence in the underworld, while Ecclesiastes and Sirach have no belief in any meaningful personal afterlife. However, reflection on the persecution of devout Jews by Antiochus Epiphanes (167-164 BC) led to a growing belief in individual resurrection, especially for martyrs. Such a resurrection belief is evident in Daniel 12 and 2 Maccabees 7, as well as Wisdom 3, before it becomes predominant in the New Testament.

The feast of the Annunciation of the Lord, also celebrated as the feast of the Incarnation of the Word, is rich in meaning and has multiple dimensions. Surely, it is a Christological feast.
