    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here for the first time, together with a selection of her other writings and images, many also previously unpublished-marks a significant step in expanding our knowledge of Colquhoun's work.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

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

    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.

    There is surely nothing more numinous or pivotal in life than the experience of death and mortality, and it is necessary for culture and religion to deal with this experience as adequately as possible. Moreover, the treatment of persons dying, the care of corpses, and also hopes in a "life" or a comparable "existence" after death often form decisive keys to the understanding of anthropological presuppositions of the respective social, cultural and religious contexts. The articles in this volume deal with the following questions: What role does human corporality play in the context of dying, death, and resurrection in ancient Judaism, early Christianity and in their respective religious and cultural contexts? What conclusions do the statements about the body, but also the dealing with the body allow regarding the respective anthropological ideas in concrete social, cultural and religious contexts? The main focus of the volume lies on early Jewish and ancient Christian texts of the 3rd century B.C.E. until the 3rd century C.E. Some essays, however, deal with other traditions like the religion of Ptolemaic Egypt, Zoroastrism or ancient Gnosis

    Notes:

    This book explores one of the central questions that has haunted husbands and wives and lovers over the millennia of history: What kind of afterlife might they expect for their love once one or both of them have died? Focusing on the evolution of ideas about posthumous love within medieval and early modern Europe, the book includes many religions and cultures in order to understand how expectations about the afterlife differed across traditions

    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

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
