Resurrection of the Dead

This volume contains the acts of the international conference on the
theme of the Resurrection that was organized at the Faculty of Theology,
Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, in April 2010. The focus of the conference
was on putting the resurrection in general and of Jesus specifically in
a wider literary, cultural and hermeneutical context. This resulted in a
fourfold group of contributions. The first group presents the
antecedents of resurrection in the Hebrew Bible. The second group is the
largest one and offers a panorama of the resurrection in the New
Testament (including the four Gospels, Pauline Literature, Apocalypse).
The third part opens the research field towards the Jewish and Early
Christian milieu while the last section contains three articles on the
historical and hermeneutical questions. This volume contains
contributions by scholars of both French and Anglo-Saxon background and
is characterized by its broad perspective on the resurrection.
