This article analyses Jesus’ discussion with the Sadducees about the resurrection. It is argued that the Sadducees stand in the tradition of Ecclesiastes. However, the Sadduccees (as portrayed in the Gospels) regard the question of life after death as a purely hypothetical matter, not as an existential problem, which it was for Ecclesiastes, Job and Asaph. When it comes to speaking responsibly Biblically about life after death, it is important to be humble and not to speculate beyond the basic faith that we will be together with God.
