{"product_id":"the-fate-of-the-dead-richard-bauckham-9781589832886","title":"The Fate of the Dead: Studies on the Jewish and Christian Apocalypses","description":"This text presents a collection of studies which focus on personal eschatology in the Jewish and early Christian apocalypses. The apocalyptic tradition, from its Jewish origins until the early Middle Ages, is studied as a continuous literary tradition, in which both continuity of motifs and important changes in understanding of life after death can be charted. As well as better-known apocalypses, much attention is given to those neglected apocalypses which portray human destiny after death in detail, such as the \"Apocalypse of Peter,\" the \"Apocalypse of the Seven Heavens,\" the later apocalypses of Ezra, and the four apocalypses of the Virgin Mary. Relationships with Greco-Roman eschatology are explored, and several chapters show how specific New Testament texts are illuminated by close knowledge of this tradition of ideas and images of the hereafter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Bauckham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1589832884\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781589832886\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Society of Biblical Literature\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.99d","brand":"Richard Bauckham","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939835379967,"sku":"9781589832886","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_a77d69bc-166a-4ab2-9fae-3c161c4ddb98.jpg?v=1681443768","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-fate-of-the-dead-richard-bauckham-9781589832886","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
