“…Harris theorises that, if the troop truly understood the irreversibility of the death state, then they should exhibit consternation and fear upon hearing the voice of their dead conspeci c, and not excitement or relief at their supposed return. Putting aside the unethical nature of deliberately subjecting individuals to potential distress, this proposal is founded in a belief that the "correct" reaction to apparent resurrection should be negative, when, even within Homo sapiens, various historical and extant religions have believed that resurrection is both possible and positive (Habermas, 1989;Lehtipuu, 2015). Future work also needs to focus more heavily on bonobos, as bonobo reactions to death are largely missing from the literature.…”

An understanding of what death and dying entail is termed a concept of death (CoD), and the human CoD is often viewed as one of the characteristics that distinguishes our species. In this research, I identified an analogous understanding of death and dying in our closest living relatives—genus Pan. Linguistic frameworks designed for studying the CoD in human children look for evidence of understanding of several facets of death. I adapted these frameworks for the non-verbal Pan species, systematically analysing written and video recordings of chimpanzee and bonobo behaviours surrounding death within these new behavioural frameworks. I identified compelling evidence for the comprehension of several aspects of death, and thus for the presence of a human-like CoD in chimpanzees and bonobos. This has implications for our own evolutionary story and raises questions about what makes humans ‘human’.

“…22 Nevertheless, the Jewish expectations about the resurrection must be considered. 23 In the period contemporary with Jesus, Jewish beliefs were diverse, and John Dominic Crossan is right that "Jesus not only lived and died as a Jew, he also rose as a Jew" 24 . Josephus Flavius, the historian who served also as a priest at the 102 temple for Jerusalem shortly before its destruction in 70 BC, testified that Judaism was divided into three main religious groups: the Pharisees, the Sadducees and the Essenes.…”

After Christ’s death upon the cross, the gospel of Matthew is the only one that preserved a tradition about the opening of the graves and the resurrection of the saints (Mt 27:51-54). According to context, this resurrection of the Old Testament saints diverges from the concept of Christ as the beginner of the general resurrection. The article scrutinises the history of interpretation in patristic literature, modern commentaries, and the ideas of resurrection in early Judaism and Christianity. The author argues that here the gospel may preserve an ancient tradition about the victory of the Messiah which was further corrected to converge with the post-easter tradition about Jesus who was resurrected after three days. Keywords: Resurrection, interpretation, Old Testament, Judaism, Pharisees, Sadducees
