Abstract

How did the hope of earliest Christianity shift from a hope principally in a resurrection of the body at the end of the world to the idea of the immediate ascent of the soul at death? Eliezer Gonzalez analyzes how the Passion of Perpetua provides us with early literary evidence of an environment in which the Graeco-Roman and Christian cults of the dead appear to be very much aligned.
