The social and intellectual vitality of Judaism and Christianity in
antiquity was in large part a function of their ability to
articulate a viably transcendent hope for the human condition.
Narratives of Paradise - based on the concrete symbol of the Garden
of Delights - came to play a central role for Jews, Christians, and
eventually Muslims too. The essays in this volume highlight the
multiple hermeneutical perspectives on biblical Paradise from
Second Temple Judaism and Christian origins to the systematic
expositions of Augustine and rabbinic literature. They show that
while early Christian and Jewish sources draw on texts from the
same Bible, their perceptions of Paradise often reflect the highly
different structures of the two sister religions. Dealing with a
wide variety of texts, these essays explore major themes such as
the allegorical and literal interpretations of Paradise, the
tension between heaven and earth, and Paradise's physical location
in space and time.
