Resurrection

CRITICAL: shares the Quran’s crucifixion-denial problem (4:157) with Arabic. Shia eschatology adds a further complication: popular expectation centers on the return of the Hidden Twelfth Imam (Mahdi), with Jesus (‘Isa) returning in a supporting role, praying behind the Mahdi - Jesus’s own unique resurrection and future return risk being absorbed into or subordinated to this Mahdi-centered eschatological expectation.
