Christianity started as a religious movement within 1st-century Judaism (late [[Second Temple Judaism]]), and it retains what the New Testament itself claims was the [[Pharisaic]] belief in the [[Pharisees#The afterlife|afterlife and resurrection of the dead]]. Whereas this belief was only one of many beliefs held about the [[world to come]] in Second Temple Judaism, and was notably rejected by the [[Sadducees]], but accepted by the Pharisees (cf. Acts 23:6-8). Belief in the resurrection became dominant within [[Early Christianity]] and already in the Gospels of Luke and John, included an insistence on the resurrection of the flesh. Most modern [[Christian churches]] continue to uphold the belief that there will be a final [[resurrection of the dead#Christianity|resurrection of the dead]] and [[World to Come#Christian eschatology|world to come]].

Belief in the resurrection of the dead, and Jesus' role as judge, is codified in the [[Apostles' Creed]], which is the fundamental creed of Christian [[baptismal]] faith. The [[Book of Revelation]] also makes many references about the [[Judgment Day|Day of Judgment]] when the dead will be raised.
