raise from the dead
Bring back alive
To raise from the dead is to restore a dead person to life.
The phrase appears most often in religious contexts—Christ raised Lazarus from the dead, and Christians believe Christ himself was raised from the dead.
Figuratively, it describes reviving something that seemed finished or hopeless: The new CEO raised the company from the dead.
