The Afterlife in Early Christian Carthage explores how the
visionary experiences of early Christian martyrs shaped and
informed early Christian ancestor cult and the construction of the
cemetery as paradise. Taking the early Christian cemeteries in
Carthage as a case study, the volume broadens our understanding of
the historical and cultural origins of the early Christian cult of
the saints, and highlights the often divergent views about the dead
and post-mortem realms expressed by the church fathers, and in
graveside ritual and the material culture of the cemetery. This
fascinating study is a key resource for students of late antique
and early Christian culture.
