Students and scholars of ancient religion, philosophy, and early Christianity will certainly want to read it, and more general readers will no doubt enjoy it greatly as well. –Peter Aronoff, Marymount College, Bryn Mawr Classical Review, July, 2002 A relatively brief but wide-ranging book on a complex subject.a useful study. –Religious Studies Review *Product Description* The afterlife is still very much alive in Western civilization, even though the truth of its existence is no longer universally accepted. Surprisingly, however, heaven, hell and the immortal soul were all ideas which arrived relatively late in the ancient world. Originally Greece and Israel-the cultures that gave us Christianity-had only the vaguest ideas of an afterlife. So where did these concepts come from, and why did they develop? In this fascinating, learned book, Bremmer takes a fresh look at the major developments in the Western imagination of the afterlife. Back To Top
