Such concerns can be found not only in Judaism and Christianity but also in the Greco-Roman religious, philosophical, scientific, and 'magical' traditions. Transcending social, regional and creedal boundaries, the preocupation with heaven in Late Antiquity serves as a focus for an interdisciplinary approach to understanding this formative era in Western culture and history. 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. 517 3 $aHeavenly Realms & Earthly Realities in Late Antique Religions 606 $aHeaven$vComparative studies 606 $aHeaven$xChristianity$xHistory of doctrines$yEarly church, ca. 30-600 606 $aHeaven$xJudaism$xHistory of doctrines 607 $aRome$xReligion 607 $aGreece$xReligion 615 0$aHeaven 615 0$aHeaven$xChristianity$xHistory of doctrines 615 0$aHeaven$xJudaism$xHistory of doctrines. 676 $a202/.3/09015 702 $aBoustan$b Ra?anan S.$f1971- 702 $aReed$b Annette Yoshiko$f1973- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784316703321 996 $aHeavenly realms and earthly realities in late antique religions$986919 997 $aUNINA
