Raises the dead
Resurrects means to bring back to life or restore to use.
The core sense is religious—Christ resurrected from the dead, and believers may be resurrected at the end of time.
More commonly, resurrect applies to revivals of non-living things: The director resurrects a forgotten play, She resurrected her grandmother's recipe.
To resurrect something is to pull it from obscurity or disuse back into active existence.
