An original and compelling argument that Judaism, a religion often thought to pay little attention to the afterlife, not only presents us with rich ideas on this subject but delivers a deathblow to death itself. Traces the evolution of Jewish thought about bodily resurrection and spiritual immortality, and what it means for our lives today.
Combines astute scholarship with keen historical, theological and liturgical insights to outline the evolution of Jewish thought about bodily resurrection and spiritual immortality. A strikingly innovative statement on resurrection and immortality
