The concept of "immortality of the soul" refers to the belief that the soul is eternal and continues to exist after the death of the physical body. This belief is often associated with various religious and philosophical traditions, such as in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Platonism.
On the other hand, the concept of "resurrection of the body" is rooted in the belief that after death, the physical body will be resurrected and reunited with the soul in a transformed or glorified state. This belief is central to many Christian traditions, particularly in the context of the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the promise of a future bodily resurrection for believers.
In summary, the "immortality of the soul" emphasizes the eternal nature of the soul independent of the body, while the "resurrection of the body" emphasizes the restoration and transformation of the physical body in the afterlife. Both concepts address the question of what happens after death, but they offer different perspectives on the nature of existence beyond the earthly life.
