Nearly 71 percent said they "absolutely" or "probably" believed in hell. But their ideas have been molded by Western individualism, and scholars say many important teachings from early Christianity have been out how Today Matt Lauer Plus, find Spirit of Reformation tor Joe McConnick skewed as a result. Indeed, even debating the specifics of resurrection may seem far removed from 21st century life. Yet Wright and others say the church should teach what the first Christians believed. Wright also has argued that the physical reality of a future world after death shows "the created order matters to God, and Jesus' Resurrection is the pilot project for that renewal" Madigan and Levenson have an additional motivation. They said they wrote the book to help Jews and Christians understand more about their theological bonds. Amy Jill Levine, a New Testament scholar at Vanderbilt University's Divinity School, said interest in resurrection along with reincarnation, ghosts and contacting the dead has grown in recent to rationalistic, Enlightenment and reshaped by the earliest Christians to form part of their thought.

For early Christians and some Jews, resurrection meant being given back ona's body or possibly Qjd exeat ing a new similar body after death, Wright has said. Madigan and Levenson, among other scholars, also emphasize that resurrection for humankind is a belief that Christians and Jews share, Christians generally find it difficult to imagine that a faith that doesn't believe in Christ's Resurrection can believe in resurrect ion at all. But "as the early church was developing, rabbis were making resurrection an article of normative belief," Madigan and Levenson said in answers to questions from The Associated Press. "That Is something many Jews do not know. Like many Christians, they are under the misimpres-sio- n that resurrection is a uniquely Christian hope." Jews in the time of Jesus believed that resurrection was bodily and communal in that it brought justice to the oppressed and renewed creation, wrote Madigan, who teaches Christian history at Harvard Divinity School, and Levenson, who teaches Jewish studies there.
