Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - When the medievals spoke of 'last things' they were sometimes referring to events, such as the millennium or the appearance of the Antichrist, that would come to all of humanity or at the end of time. But they also meant the last things that would come to each individual separately-not just the place, Heaven, Hell, or Purgatory, to which their souls would go but also the accounting, the calling to reckoning, that would come at the end of life. At different periods in the Middle Ages one or the other of these sorts of 'last things' tended to be dominant, but both coexisted throughout. In Last Things, Caroline Walker Bynum and Paul Freedman bring together eleven essays that focus on the competing eschatologies of the Middle Ages and on the ways in which they expose different sensibilities, different theories of the human person, and very different understandings of the body, of time, of the end. Exploring such themes as the significance of dying and the afterlife, apocalyptic time, and the eschatological imagination, each essay in the volume enriches our understanding of the eschatological awarenesses of the European Middle Ages.…

Philadelphia University of Pennsylvania Press 1999 Softcover, 363pp., 15,5x23,5cm., illustr. in b/w., in very good condition (covers with some traces of use, otherwise very good). ISBN 9780812217025. When medieval people spoke of the 'last things' they invoked not only the final events of the cosmos, the coming of the millennium or the appearance of the Antichrist, but also the ultimate fate of each individual soul. In the European Middle Ages, concerns about Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory were deeply intertwined with questions about the body, time, and human identity. In Last Things: Death and the Apocalypse in the Middle Ages, edited by Caroline Walker Bynum and Paul Freedman, eleven original essays explore the rich and competing eschatological traditions of the medieval world. These essays delve into the meaning of dying, visions of the afterlife, apocalyptic time, and the eschatological imagination that shaped medieval thought and devotion. From debates about the end of the world to the intimate experience of death, this volume illuminates how medieval Christians understood the ultimate fate of humanity and themselves. Bringing together leading scholars in medieval history and religion, Last Things enriches our understanding of eschatological awareness across Europe's medieval cultures and reveals how changing notions of death and the end shaped social, theological, and intellectual life. Whether you are a student of religion, history, or medieval culture, this collection offers a profound look at how past societies grappled with life's final questions.…
