Rövid leírás:

This book explores how early-modern Christian eschatology understood the cosmological dimensions of space and time, and how ideas, representations, and practices concerning the afterlife evolved as the scientific breakthroughs of the time became matters of common knowledge.

Hosszú leírás:
How did the early-modern Christian West conceive of the spaces and times of the afterlife? The answer to this question is not obvious for a period that saw profound changes in theology, when the telescope revealed the heavens to be as changeable and imperfect as the earth, and when archaeological and geological investigations made the earth and what lies beneath it another privileged site for the acquisition of new knowledge.


With its focus on the eschatological imagination at a time of transformation in cosmology, this volume opens up new ways of studying early-modern religious ideas, representations, and practices. The individual chapters explore a wealth of ? at times little-known ? visual and textual sources. Together they highlight how closely concepts and imaginaries of the hereafter were intertwined with the realities of the here and now.
