A study of the formation and development in early Judaism of a belief in a future resurrection from the grave. It draws on evidence from the Apocrypha, Pseudepigrapha, the Dead Sea Scrolls, inscriptions, and archaeology.
This book stands out because of its scale and thoroughness, and its overall excellent presentation and discussions. It should, as such, be recommended to all who are interested not only in the study of resurrection beliefs in early Judaism but also in early Christianity, Antiquity, and Judaism in general. Resurrection of the Dead in Early Judaism deserves to remain a standard volume on this subject for quite some time.
