| Title: Les Juifs, au temps de Jésus, coroyaient-ils à l'immortalité de l'âme? Pour introduire à la doctrine du Nouveau Testament sur les fins dernières Secondary Title: BLE Volume: 98 Pages: 103-121 Type: Journal Article Year: 1997 Abstract: Harrington, Daniel J. in: NTAb 42.1 (1998), 122: "After reviewing possible references to life after death in pre-Maccabean Jewish writings, the article considers the post-exilic development of the idea, the state of "souls" after death in Hellenistic Jewish writings (e.g. Wisdom, 2 and 4 Maccabees, Philo, Josephus), and the survival of the soul in Palestinian Jewish writings composed in Semitic languages (e.g. ps.-Philo's biblical Antiquities, 4 Ezra and 2 Baruch, 1 Enoch, early rabbinic works). By the 1st century Jewish eschatology, under Greek influence came to admit a survival of the soul and judgment according to one's righteousness or ungodliness. Without denying resurrection, Jewish thought granted to the soul mid-way status and thus modified earlier after-life perspective". |
