Early Jewish and Ancient Christian Traditions

Herausgeber: Nicklas, Tobias; Garcia Martinez, Florentino; M M Eynikel, Erik; Verheyden, Joseph

Beschreibung

Is there another, perhaps better world than the one where we live? Is there a future for us after death and how does it look like? The articles in this volume describe how ancient Jewish and Christian authors dealt with the above questions and what their answers had to do with their own life experience.
