'Death in Second-Century Christian Thought' explores how the
meaning of death was conceptualised in this crucial period of the
history of the church. Through an exploration of key metaphors and
other figures of speech that the early church used to talk about
this fascinating and controversial topic, Jeremiah Mutie argues
that the church fathers selected, adapted and exploited existing
pagan ideas about the subject of death in order to offer a
distinctively Christian view based on Biblical texts. The death,
burial and resurrection of Jesus were critical to this development,
as was the Christian promise of eternal life. In this erudite book,
Mutie shows how Christians engaged with the views of death in late
antiquity, coming up with their own characteristic belief in life
after death.
