Brian Godawa Quote

Rich were able to afford crypts where entire families would be able to go to sleep with their fathers, as the saying went. Sleep was the common metaphor used to express their hope that one day Yahweh would return and resurrect the dead for judgment. There was a debate within the Pharisee and Sadducee circles about resurrection. The Pharisees believed it, but the Sadducees did not.
