Lazarus
Bethany's risen man
Lazarus is a biblical figure raised from the dead by Jesus after four days in the tomb.
The name now evokes miraculous recovery or resurrection: The company pulled a Lazarus, returning from near-bankruptcy.
In medicine, the Lazarus phenomenon describes spontaneous return of circulation after failed resuscitation.
He's the Lazarus of political comebacks.
