Judaism in Late Antiquity: Part 4, Death, Life-after-Death, Resurrection and the World-to-Come in the Judaisms of Antiquity, edited by Alan J. Avery-Peck and Jacob Neusner. Handbuch der Orientalistik, Erste Abteilung: Der Nahe und Mittlere Osten 49. Leiden: Brill, 2000. Pp. xi + 342. $115.00. Death, Life-after-Death, Resurrection and the World-to-Come in the Judaisms of Antiquity exists at two levels and must be evaluated at each. First, the volume is a collection of essays on death and the afterlife in Judaism from the biblical through the rabbinic periods by some of the foremost interpreters of ancient Judaism. As such, it is both authoritative and stimulating, including both essays that sum up a generation of scholarship and others that make new departures.
