Elledge does an excellent job of describing the wide range of viewpoints concerning the afterlife (including annihilationism, the denial of an afterlife) within early Judaism. * Glenn B. Siniscalchi, The Catholic Biblical Quarterly * The doctrine of the resurrection of the dead coupled with the immortality of the soul are extant in contemporary practice and belief of Orthodox Judaism. Non-Orthodoxy believes in the immortality of the soul but less in the resurrection of the dead. Questions? Elledge's erudite volume on developing resurrection ideas within early Judaism is a place to start. * Zev Garber, Reading Religion * 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 deservesR to remain a standard volume on this subject for quite some time. * Dag Oistein Endsjo, Religion *
