Description
Resurrection of the Dead by Michael E. B. Maher is a doctrinal exposition of the biblical teaching on resurrection, presented as one of the six foundational doctrines of Christ outlined in Hebrews 5-6. The book argues that a proper understanding of resurrection is essential for spiritual maturity and protection from doctrinal error. Maher begins by examining the nature of death, defining humanity as a triune being-spirit, soul, and body. Physical death, he explains, is the separation of the spirit and soul from the mortal body, not the end of existence. Since the spirit and soul are eternal, the doctrine of resurrection concerns the future restoration of the body for all people, believers and unbelievers alike. The book traces God's redemptive plan through Christ, presenting Jesus as the "firstfruits" and the firstborn from the dead. Maher links Christ's resurrection to the prophetic feasts of the Lord and explains how it guarantees subsequent resurrections. A major focus is the distinction between multiple resurrections. Maher identifies a first resurrection involving saints, a second resurrection unto condemnation for unbelievers, and a distinct resurrection of children. Each group is examined in terms of timing, purpose, and the nature of their resurrected bodies. The work also explores the intermediate state of the dead, discussing the fate of unbelievers in Hades, the rest of Old Testament saints in Abraham's bosom, and the complete knowledge attained after death. Ultimately, Maher emphasizes bodily resurrection as a central, unavoidable reality of divine justice and redemption, culminating in eternal judgment and the final order of God's kingdom.
