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. These collected essays 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"-- |cProvided by publisher. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Paradise.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85097749 650 0 Future life.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85052611 650 0 Paradise|xJudaism.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2020006512 650 0 Paradise|xChristianity.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2020006511 650 0 Future life|xJudaism.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2009125652 650 0 Future life|xChristianity.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh2008104220 650 7 Paradise.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1198510 650 7 Future life.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/936730 650 7 Judaism.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/984280 650 7 Christianity.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/859599 650 7 Future life|xJudaism.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1766783 650 7 Future life|xChristianity.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1751184 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Bockmuehl, Markus N.
