The idea of heaven held a special place in the late antique
imagination, which was marked by a poignant sense of the relevance
of otherworldly realities for earthly life. 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.
