Resurrection of the Body in Early Judaism and Early Christianity: Doctrine, Community, and Self-Definition
نویسنده
چکیده
In the first chapter, the author studies the concept of resurrection among Sadducees and Pharisees, using material from Josephus, the Gospels, Acts, and the Rabbinic literature to examine how each conceives the idea of resurrection and the symbolic boundaries through which its builds an identity. The second chapter analyzes the idea of resurrection among the first followers of Jesus including in the Corinthian Church. In the third chapter, Setzer describes the views of the Apostolic Fathers and the fourth deals with objections to Christianity from mainly Celsus and Caecilius. These accusations focus on the lack of socio-cultural and political integration within the Empire. In the fifth chapter the author discusses the importance of the belief in resurrection in terms of community self-definition, including funerary inscriptions. The sixth chapter deals with Christian apologists who defend the belief in the resurrection of the flesh such as Irenaeus of Lyon (2nd century) and Tertullian.
