Beginning with the Bible's references to Sheol and its allusions to resurrection, this survey explores immortality and bodily resurrection in Second Temple literature; the Mishnah's discussions of olam ha-ba, or the world to come, and how to merit entry into it; and the Talmud's depictions of paradise and hell, and the soul's journey through these metaphysical landscapes.
