It would help if you first define what you mean by resurrection. Then ask, does it necessarily mean the same as the writer of 4Q521 meant when he wrote "revive the dead" (Vermes), or "make the dead live" (Martinez)?

I have no opinion on it at the moment, since I've just come across it.

Geoff, care to elaborate?
