Wars, II, viii, 11), and later became a prevailing dogma in Judaism. The idea of immortality in its various phases follows on logically from the last discussion. The Greeks, who most influenced Judaism, believed in an immortality of the soul, but not of the body, hence their conception should be classed as spiritual as opposed t...o material. The Hebrews, however, in their Scriptures left very few statements which are definite. To quote R. H. Charles: " In Job it [immortality] emerges merely as an inspiration. Only in Pss. 49 and 73 (if our interpretation is valid) does it rise to the stage of conviction " (Enc. Bib. , 1347). While this no doubt is true, we must recognize that individual inmiortalitjr lay implicit in much of the teaching of the Old Testament. Likewise the doctrine of the resurrection, in any crystallized form, plays no impor- tant part in its thought.
