The Resurrection : Israel'S Old Testament Hope In Chronological Order

Most Bible students, even some renowned scholars, don't know that the Resurrection is basically an Old Testament subject. If someone believes the Resurrection is spoken of at all in the Old Testament, it's usually in the form of three proof texts, quoted without regard to context, The most egregious of these is Job's statement "I know that my redeemer lives," which is assumed to be Christ. We discuss the context of Job's statement and find that Job himself said several times that he didn't even believe in a resurrection! In Ac.26.22, Paul said that on the Resurrection he didn't teach anything but what Moses and the prophets foretold. Not one thing! When Paul said that, he had already written I Corinthians 15, I Thes. 4, and II Thes.1-2. That means that there's nothing in them that wasn't in Moses and the prophets, yet all kinds of things are taught from those books that cannot be found in the Old Testament, and that contradicts what is found there. Have you ever heard or taught a lesson on the Resurrection from Moses and the prophets? If not, what makes you think your concept (or the concepts of those who taught you) of the nature or time of the Resurrection is the same as Paul's? Rather than beginning with a Roman Catholic Catechism, a denominational creed, or any other doctrinal source other than what Paul used, this book begins with Hosea, Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel to ascertain the Bible doctrine of the Resurrection. Then we proceed to its fulfillment in the New Testament, as Paul did. We think you'll notice some entirely new concepts of the Resurrection than what we've traditionally been taught and believed. And, taking the subject in the order God revealed it, from the Old Testament to the New, we'll find the truth much more easily than vice versa.
