This book, written for religious and nonreligious people alike in
clear and accessible language, explores a teaching central to both
Jewish and Christian traditions: the teaching that at the end of
time God will cause the dead to live again. Although this
expectation, known as the resurrection of the dead, is widely
understood to have been a part of Christianity from its beginnings
nearly two thousand years ago, many people are surprised to learn
that the Jews believed in resurrection long before the emergence of
Christianity. In this sensitively written and historically accurate
book, religious scholars Kevin J. Madigan and Jon D. Levenson aim
to clarify confusion and dispel misconceptions about Judaism,
Jesus, and Christian origins. Madigan and Levenson tell the
fascinating but little-known story of the origins of the belief in
resurrection, investigating why some Christians and some Jews
opposed the idea in ancient times while others believed it was
essential to their faith. The authors also discuss how the two
religious traditions relate their respective practices in the here
and now to the new life they believe will follow resurrection.
Making the rich insights of contemporary scholars of antiquity
available to a wide readership, Madigan and Levenson offer a new
understanding of Jewish-Christian relations and of the profound
connections that tie the faiths together.
