About This Text

Author: Menasseh ben Israel
Composed: Amsterdam, 1636 CE
On the Resurrection of the Dead is a 17th-century work by Menasseh ben Israel defending traditional rabbinic views of immortality of the soul, reincarnation, and resurrection, in light of challenges posed by skeptics. Ben Israel self-published the work using the printing press he established in Amsterdam. On the Resurrection of the Dead was originally published in Judeo-Spanish, and was published again in Latin the same year.
