Death & Afterlife: Do Christians Follow Plato rather than Jesus or Paul?

In this ninth of my series on" Death, Afterlife, and the Future," I consider the thesis of the late great Oscar Cullmann who argued that Christianity--anciently and down into our own time--has largely lost the view of "resurrection of the dead" as declared by Jesus in our gospel sources and Paul in his letters--in favor of a Platonic Dualism that focuses on the "immortal soul," escaping this world for a heavenly Home above.

You can download a PDF of my article "What the Bible Says about the Future" at the link in the description of the first video--Ancient Hebrew Views:

Also, if you want to get a reprint copy of Cullmann's book here is a short review and link to the edition I would recommend:

Here are the lines from John Donne's poem I mentioned at the graveside service in Season 7, ep. 3 of "Outlander":

Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
One short sleep past, we wake eternally
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.
