Afterlife and Resurrection Beliefs in the Second Temple PeriodCross-file under New Books, Old Testament Apocrypha Watch, and Old Testament Pseudepigrapha Watch.
A comprehensive list and description of every resurrection and afterlife belief in the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha has been a much-lamented gap in contemporary scholarship. While death and the afterlife are popular topics among biblical scholars and students, given the enormous undertaking such a landmark study would be, it becomes understandable why it has not been done - until now.
