    Why is belief in an afterlife so persistent across times and cultures? And how can it coexist with disbelief in an afterlife? Most modern thinkers hold that afterlife belief serves such important psychological and social purposes as consoling survivors, enforcing morality, dispensing justice, or giving life meaning. Yet the earliest, and some more recent, afterlives strikingly fail to satisfy those needs.In Inventing Afterlives, Regina M. Janes proposes a new theory of the origins of the hereafter rooted in the question that a dead body raises: where has the life gone? Humans then and now, in communities and as individuals, ponder what they would want or experience were they in that body. From this endlessly recurring situation, afterlife narratives develop in all their complexity, variety, and ingenuity. Exploring afterlives from Egypt to Sumer, among Jews, Greeks, and Romans, to Christianity’s advent and Islam’s rise, Janes reveals how little concern ancient afterlives had with morality. In south and east Asia, karmic rebirth makes morality self-enforcing and raises a new problem: how to stop re-dying. The British enlightenment, Janes argues, invented the now widespread wish-fulfilling afterlife and illustrates how afterlives change. She also considers the surprising afterlife of afterlives among modern artists and writers who no longer believe in worlds beyond this one. Drawing on a variety of religious traditions; contemporary literature and film; primatology; cognitive science; and evolutionary psychology, Janes shows that in asking what happens after we die, we define the worlds we inhabit and the values by which we live

    Ithell Colquhoun (1906-1988) is remembered today as a surrealist artist, writer, and occultist. Although her paintings hang in a number of public collections and her gothic novel Goose of Hermogenes (1961) remains in print, critical responses to her work have been severely constrained by the limited availability of her art and writings. The publication of her second novel, I Saw Water-presented here for the first time, together with a selection of her other writings and images, many also previously unpublished-marks a significant step in expanding our knowledge of Colquhoun's work. Composed almost entirely of material assembled from the author's dreams, I Saw Water challenges such fundamental distinctions as those between sleeping and waking, the two separated genders, and life and death. It is set in a convent on the Island of the Dead, but its spiritual context derives from sources as varied as Roman Catholicism, the teachings of the Theosophical Society, Goddess spirituality, Druidism, the mystical Qabalah, and Neoplatonism.The editors have provided both an introduction and explanatory notes. The introductory essay places the novel in the context of Colquhoun's other works and the cultural and spiritual environment in which she lived. The extensive notes will help the reader with any concepts that may be unfamiliar

    Verständliche Aufarbeitung eines komplexen Themas. Die Erwartung eines radikalen Endes dieser Welt begegnet in der jüdischen und christlichen Tradition seit der Antike, und bis heute gehört die Vorstellung vom nahen Weltuntergang zu den Glaubensüberzeugungen zahlreicher religiöser Sondergemeinschaften. Vom Holzschnitt bis zum Horrorfilm fand das Thema immer wieder Eingang in die populäre Kultur. Dieser Band bietet gezielte und präzise Informationen über die antike jüdische und frühchristliche Apokalyptik sowie eine anschauliche Darstellung der Geschichte des Phänomens von der Spätantike bis in die Gegenwart.

In the present work, the first of its kind in the field of Indian philology, Marc Tiefenauer outlines the history of representations of hell in Indian religious traditions. His study is based on primary sources in Sanskrit, Pali, Ardhamagadhi, Chinese, Braj, Persian and Hindi, extending over three millennia. He identifies the main ideological contributions to Brahmanical representations of the afterlife, particularly those stemming from Buddhism, Jainism, devotional currents (Bhakti) and Islam. He shows the utility of eschatological research to hermeneutics, especially in view of improving the understanding of the literatures of ancient India

In the present work, the first of its kind in the field of Indian philology, Marc Tiefenauer outlines the history of representations of hell in Indian religious traditions. His study is based on primary sources in Sanskrit, Pali, Ardhamagadhi, Chinese, Braj, Persian and Hindi, extending over three millennia. He identifies the main ideological contributions to Brahmanical representations of the afterlife, particularly those stemming from Buddhism, Jainism, devotional currents (Bhakti) and Islam. He shows the utility of eschatological research to hermeneutics, especially in view of improving the understanding of the literatures of ancient India

    These studies focus on personal eschatology in the Jewish and early Christian apocalypses. The apocalyptic tradition from its Jewish origins until the early middle ages is studied as a continuous literary tradition, in which both continuity of motifs and important changes in understanding of life after death can be charted.As well as better known apocalypses, major and often pioneering attention is given to those neglected apocalypses which portray human destiny after death in detail, such as the Apocalypse of Peter, the Apocalypse of the Seven Heavens, the later apocalypses of Ezra, and the four apocalypses of the Virgin Mary. Relationships with Greco-Roman eschatology are explored. Several chapters show how specific New Testament texts are illuminated by close knowledge of this tradition of ideas and images of the hereafter.

    Biographical note: Maximilian Benz, Universität Zürich. How does one create vivid narratives about realms that cannot be experienced before death, such as hell, purgatory, and paradise? This work uses early Jewish texts to reconstruct the narrative process of describing journeys to the beyond, and follows its transformations through different texts - from the Apocryphal Apocalypses of Peter and Paul to the influential medieval narratives of the Visio Tnugdali (Vision of Tnugdalus) and the Tractatus de Purgatorio S. Patricii (Treatise on St. Patrick's Purgatory) Wie kann anschaulich von vor dem Tod unerfahrbaren Räumen wie der Hölle, dem Fegefeuer oder dem Paradies erzählt werden? Diese Arbeit rekonstruiert anhand frühjüdischer Texte das Erzählverfahren der Jenseitsreise und verfolgt dessen Transformationen an verschiedenen Texten– von den apokryphen Petrus- und Paulus-Apokalypsen bis hin zu den einflussreichen mittelalterlichen Erzählungen der Visio Tnugdali und des Tractatus de Purgatorio S. Patricii.

    Die Vorstellung vom Fegefeuer gehört zum festen Bestand der landläufigen christlichen Glaubensüberzeugung. Die Wenigsten wissen allerdings, dass diese Vorstellung keine Grundlage im biblischen Text hat. Woher kommt sie also, wie fand sie in die christliche Dogmatik Eingang und welchen Stellenwert hat das Purgatorium für eine zeitgenössische Theologie? Hier wird eine Studie über die Entstehung der Vorstellung vom Fegefeuer vorgelegt, die sich auf die Entwicklung in der frühen Kirche konzentriert. Dabei wird von den ersten Belegstellen bei Cyprian der Faden der Verankerung dieser Glaubensvorstellung bis zu Augustinus verfolgt. Da das Fegefeuer in der Bibel oder dem Judentum nicht belegt ist, geht der Autor der Frage nach, ob es antike Wurzeln hat und wie die Fegefeuervorstellung mit der frühkirchlichen Bußpraxis zusammenhängt. Damit wird ein zentrales Stück der Theologiegeschichte beleuchtet, das nicht nur von historischem oder kirchenhistorischen Interesse ist
