“‘Those who are counted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. But even Moses showed in the burning bush passage that the dead are raised, when he called the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ For He is not the God of the dead but of the living, for all live to Him’” (Page 12)
“‘And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many’” (Page 12)
“Perhaps the strongest witness to the resurrection of the body in the Old Testament is the vision of Ezekiel.” (Page 10)
“In many Christian denominations, or at least among their liberal preachers, it is no longer necessary to believe in the ‘empty tomb,’ in Christ’s physical Resurrection.” (Page 7)
