Abstrakt: The article focuses on the influence of the Hellenistic culture on the concept of resurrection in the Jewish apocalyptic literature. It examines Jewish and Greek traditions about a bodily existence after death. There is much evidence for Greek influence on the biblical idea of the resurrection. This evidence strengthens the argument that the Jewish view of the resurrection is strongly influenced by Greek ideas. The adaptation of Greek ideas was not done just by a few apocalyptic eccentrics but by those persons who were given the duty to translate the "Hebrew Bible."
