Studies in Scripture and Biblical Theology Waking from the Dust

Bol

This book argues that Daniel 12:2 sprouts from the rich soil of Old Testament resurrection hope. It shows how Daniel 12 draws from earlier biblical texts and informs later intertestamental texts; though rarely quoted explicitly, this text nonetheless guided the New Testament authors as they expressed eschatological hope in light of Christ's resurrection. "And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake."―Daniel 12:2 Scholars commonly assert that the hope for bodily resurrection is absent in the Old Testament, with Daniel 12:2 providing the exception that proves the rule. But rather than an exception, Daniel 12 is a culmination. In Waking from the Dust, Mitchell L. Chase argues that Daniel 12:2 sprouts from the rich soil of Old Testament resurrection hope. Chase shows how Daniel 12 draws from earlier biblical texts and informs later intertestamental texts. Though rarely quoted explicitly, Daniel 12 nonetheless guided the New Testament authors as they expressed eschatological hope in light of Christ's resurrection.
