Resurrection is the central feature of the New Testament gospels and lies at the center of many of Paul’s letters as well. In addition, the doctrine of the resurrection lies at the core of the Christian church’s faith. The essays in this stunning collection explore the idea of resurrection as the idea appears not only in the New Testament texts but also in the Dead Sea Scrolls, the pseudepigraphal Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs, and in contemporary theology. Charlesworth asks where the concept of resurrection appears and the ways we know it, and he also examines the concept of resurrection in the Dead Sea Scrolls and the New Testament. Casey Elledge explores the earliest evidence we have for a notion of a resurrection of the dead and investigates the hope for Israel in Judaism and Christianity found in the Testaments. Crenshaw looks at the Hebrew Bible’s ideas of resurrection, and Hendrikus Boers examines the meaning of Christ’s resurrections in Paul’s writings. W. Waite Willis explores a theology of resurrection.

Industry Reviews

"'Resurrection' is a central topic that again and again needs to be examined historically, to be analysed within the context of present day insights and views, and reflected upon as an existential question which every mortal has to face. The glimpses given from insights and debates on the present-day scene illustrate that questions are raised and doubts must be taken in to account, but they also document that the belief in the resurrection of the dead is a living conviction of many today. This book gives informed lay people, ministers and scholars in this way reliable and helpful access to current research in the various historical sources within and outside the Bible." Peder Borgen, Professor Emeritus, The University of Trondheim, NTNU--Sanford Lakoff
