'''Returning resurrection''' is a way that departed souls can continue to achieve spiritual growth by cooperating with descendants (or others) still living on the earth. In contrast to the Hindu doctrine of [[reincarnation]], the Unificationist concept of returning resurrection maintains that a dead person does not get to live again, and is not assigned another body. Rather, a person in the [[spirit world]] may contact a person of similar disposition or circumstances and inspire them to do a good deed.

This doctrine is seen by the [[Unification Church]] as having a scriptural basis. The church teaches that [[Elijah]] had a returning resurrection with [[John the Baptist]], who "came in the spirit and power of Elijah". (Luke 1:17)
