Death and the Afterlife in Syriac Christianity
Death and the Afterlife in Syriac Christianity
Creating Social Identity and Emotional Communities
Contenu
In this book, Maria Doerfler explores a body of literature that has been previously largely ignored: a collection of funerary hymns for Christians, attributed to Ephrem the Syrian. These hymns provide insights not only into Syriac Christian ideas about death and the afterlife, but also into their existence, beliefs, and practices more broadly.
