520    "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. 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"--
