She explores the ""plethora of ideas about resurrection in patristic and medieval literature--the metaphors, tropes, and arguments in which the ideas were garbed, their context and their consequences,"" in order to understand human life after death.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Caroline Walker Bynum</note> <subject> <topic>Early Church (30-600)</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Resurrection -- History of Doctrines</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Human Body -- Religious Aspects</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Middle Ages -- 600-1500</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">236.809</classification> <classification authority="ddc">B994-C29</classification> <identifier type="isbn">023108126X, 9780231081269</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15600/46.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15600/46.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-1</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071511.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
