Heavenly Realms and Earthly Realities in Late Antique Religions by Ra'anan S. Boustan, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

The concept of heaven occupied a special place in the Late Antique imagination, not only in Judaism and Christianity, but also in the Greco-Roman religious, philosophical, scientific, and "magical" traditions. Drawing upon the expertise of scholars of Classics, Ancient History, Jewish Studies, and Patristics, this volume explores the different functions of heavenly imagery in different texts and traditions in order to map the patterns of unity and diversity within the religious landscape of Late Antiquity. | Heavenly Realms and Earthly Realities in Late Antique Religions by Ra'anan S.
