Resurrection in Daniel 12 and Its Contribution to the Theology of the Book of Daniel

Abstract

"This study investigated the resurrection passages of Dan 12. The main concerns were to discover the nature, scope, timing, and purpose of the resurrection in Dan 12:2 and 12:13; to establish the relationship between these two passages; and to determine the contribution of the resurrection of Dan 12 to the theology of the book of Daniel. Chapter 1 offers a review of literature that presents the different and often conflicting opinions regarding the kind, extent, timing, and function of the resurrection in Dan 12. Chapter 2 provides an exegetical study of the two resurrection passages in Dan 12 and determines their relationship insofar as they respond to the "what," "when, "who," and why" of the resurrection"
