Reviews

The book will serve as an invaluable resource for all readers wanting to consider ancient ideas of Christian resurrection and to take some account of why these debates were so heated.
*Shelly Matthews, Review of Biblical Literature*

Debates over the Resurrection of the Dead is an important and carefully argued contribution to the study of early Christian beliefs about resurrection and the role that they played in constructing Christian identity. [It] makes an important contribution to our understanding of the social function of controversies and polemics in defining religious identity, and to our knowledge of the diversity of early Christian opinion on the resurrection of the dead.
*Daniel A. Smith, Zeitschrift für Antikes Christentum*

Clearly written and finely argued study discussing a wide range of biblical, other Jewish and -- in particular -- early Christian texts.
*Vigiliae Christianae*
