The Biblical passage about animals in the Qohelet (3,19-21) can be interpreted negatively: human beings are lowered to the level of animals; or positively: animals are raised to the level of human beings. It has to be noted that a proper doctrine of the soul’s immortality, such as the Platonic, does not belong to the Biblical and post-Biblical Jewish thought. And yet particularly in Christian thought, the Greek doctrine of the immortality of the soul has been often preferred to the Biblical notion of resurrection. Also, it has to be remembered that, in the Bible, God is equally concerned with human and animal life. And because a death without resurrection would be more powerful than God, there is a divine need for a universal resurrection of every entity that had life or even just existed.
