Moment of Reckoning: Imagined Death and Its Consequences in Late Ancient Christianity
Muehlberger, Ellen (Associate Professor of Christianity in Late Antiquity, Departments of Near Eastern Studies and History, Associate Professor of Christianity in Late Antiquity, Departments of Near Eastern Studies and History, University of Michigan)
In sermons, letters, and ascetic traditions, late ancient Christians imagined the last minutes of life and the events that followed death in elaborate detail. This book traces this early tradition of imagining the experience of dying and points to its consequences in later Christian thought.
