In this episode of About Scripture, Dr. Ed Gallagher explores Daniel 12, a passage that introduces a new hope in the Old Testament—the resurrection of the dead. While much of the Hebrew Bible presents a murky view of the afterlife, Daniel 12 offers clarity on resurrection and judgment. Dr. Gallagher examines the biblical concept of Sheol, the development of Jewish and Christian beliefs about life after death, and how Jesus' resurrection transforms our understanding of eternity.
