In this first installment of the CSCO Easter Series “Resurrection,” Professor Timothy Lim examines the language and historical trajectory of resurrection within Judaism.
Dr. Lim finds that the topic of resurrection as being Exilic and post-Exilic concept. Since Job and Psalm 16 speak of resurrection and are pre-Exilic, then “What does he think about those texts?”
Thank you for your comment. My point is that the concept of bodily resurrection developed in the exilic and post-exilic period. The dating of Ps 16 and Job is much debated, and even if one dates them to the pre-exilic period they’re not explicit in their statements about a bodily resurrection.
