Professor Driver in his commentary on Dan 12:2 says:
"zoe aionios" is frequently found in postbiblical Jewish literature (Enoch
37:4; 40:9 58:3; 62:14. Ps. Solomon 3:16; 13:9; 4 Macc 15:3. A more common
synonym is Life of the Age to come.' "
My question is can we replace ZWE AIWNIOS with "life of the age to come". Do
they mean the same thing? Is the meaning of Greek words affected by Jewish
literature? Is "life of the age to come" truely a synonym?
