The resurrection is the cornerstone of the Christian faith. The entire Christian edifice represented and erected by the Church rests on the resurrection, while the church head is the resurrected Jesus Christ. This detail makes all the difference between Christianity and the other world religions. Jesus' resurrection is presented throughout the New Testament, however in this paper we propose a particular look upon it, namely through the images used by the apostle Paul to describe the resurrection of Jesus Christ that changed his life. The apostle's way of thinking is clearly influenced by his encounter with the resurrected and glorified Jesus on the road to Damascus. For Paul, the resurrection is a transformation, a form of integrity that leads to the immortality of the redeemed and their glorification. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
