The whole seventh chapter of 2 Maccabees is worth reading in its entirety; besides providing the gory details of their demise, the narrative presents the powerful words of Mother Maccabee.
John Kavanaugh, SJ
There may be a great divorce between heaven and hell, but there is a great union between our life on earth and our eternal destiny.
John J. Pilch
Since Sadducees claim that there is no reference to resurrection in the written Torah, they didn’t believe in it.
We are apt to talk about our bodies as if we knew how or what they really were; whereas we only know what our eyes tell us.
Reginald H. Fuller
The Pentateuch, far from rendering the resurrection an absurdity, has an understanding of God that is fully consistent with such a hope.
