SimShalom:

Since Christianity is largely derived from Judaic sources, it is worthwhile pointing out that classical Judaism as continued by Orthodox Jews today, insists that belief in Revival of the Dead is one of the cardinal principals of the Jewish faith.

The famous Jewish halakhic - legal authority, Rabbi Moses ben Maimon known as Maimonides set down 13 (thirteen) main principles of the Jewish faith and Resurrection is one of them which is printed in all Orthodox Judaism prayer books to the present time. It is the thirteenth principle and states:

"I believe with complete (perfect) faith, that there will be techiat hameitim - revival of the dead, whenever it will be God's , blessed be He, will (desire) to arise and do so. May (God's) Name be blessed, and may His rememberance arise, forever and ever"
