ABSTRACT
In this paper I will ask whether the religious hope of surviving one’s natural death can be expressed and at least partially explicated within the framework of a process ontology. The central idea of process ontology is the critique of the notion of “substance”. This notion seems, however, indispensable if it is to be really me, the identical person, which has survived death. It is the very definition of a substance to be that which endures through time. But how can the subject survive death if it is not a substance?
