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, it was notably rejected by the [[Sadducees]] but accepted by the Pharisees ([[Acts 23]]:6–8). Belief in the resurrection became dominant within [[Early Christianity]], and already in the [[Gospel of Luke|Gospels of Luke]] and [[Gospel of John|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's role as judge, is codified in the [[Apostles' Creed]], the fundamental creed of Christian [[baptismal]] faith{{vague|date=November 2024}}. The [[Book of Revelation]] also makes many references about the [[Judgment Day]], when the dead will be raised.
