Cherish religious freedom: yours, mine, everyone's
The idea of resurrection came from Judaism first AFAIK- I do not know or cannot remember if non Abrahamic faiths have the idea or not
I appreciate this little article:

Including and especially the statement in the third paragraph:
"In the words of our sages, "G‑d does not deprive any creature of its due." There are no loose strings in G‑d's creation: ultimately, all good must be rewarded, all negative must be corrected."

This is beautiful, this sounds so right.
Is this specific thought commonly discussed in Judaism? Mentioned in sermons, brought up in philosophical debates etc?

I think that for any practising Jew, these thoughts( also called Tikun olam ) are present throughout their day, since it is in their prayers that they recite 3 times a day.

From my early years, I remember the Amidah section rom the daily prayers, i.e morning, afternoon and evening.

He sustains the living with loving kindness, resurrects the dead with great mercy, supports the falling, heals the sick, releases the bound, and fulfills His trust to those who sleep in the dust. Who is like You, mighty One! And who can be compared to You, King, who brings death and restores life, and causes deliverance to spring forth!
