Resurrection, immortality and eternal life in intertestamental Judaism..

This is a fascinating book, of interest to anyone who is interested in the scholarship of Christian origins. It gives great context for understanding the creation of the New Testament and its themes. There were a great many apocalyptic texts current in the first century, with the themes of the Jewish god vindicating righteous people, and a Righteous Man in particular, and punishing the evildoers (all written out of indignation of the foreign domination and mistreatment of the Jews in the 2nd and 1st centuries BCE). It is plausible to think that people, thinking back on the life and death of Jesus of Nazareth, fit Jesus into the extant literary themes. The New Testament is then seen as simply another iteration of the ongoing apocalyptic, vindication-of-righteous-man literature that was already in circulation.
