Daniel W. Hayter explores the concept of âinaugurated resurrectionâ within earliest Christianity; the view that believers have experienced a present resurrection with Christ, in advance of their final resurrection at his return. He argues that belief in inaugurated resurrection is already discernible in Paulâs own writings, in large part due to the influence of Scripture, suggesting that the influence of Ezekiel 36â"37 on Paulâs understanding of the gift of the Spirit helps to explain this belief: Paul saw inaugurated resurrection as a way of speaking of receiving the Spirit.

Hayter thus examines the reception of Ezekiel 36â"37 in Second Temple Jewish literature, in order to situate Paulâs own understanding of these chapters in the wider Jewish context, and follows with an extensive exploration of Ezekiel 36â"37 in Paulâs own writings. He argues that Paul understood Ezekielâs vision of the resurrection of dry bones to have been fulfilled in the present in the gift of Godâs Spirit to those in Christ, that Paulâs understanding of Ezekiel is then brought to bear on a close exegesis of Romans 6.1â"14, and that Paulâs view of the Spirit in light of Ezekiel 36â"37 helps to explain the strong connection between inaugurated resurrection and baptism.Hayter concludes that, far from being non-bodily, inaugurated resurrection, by baptism in one Spirit, implies incorporation into the resurrected body of Christ.
