Description
This volume explores how medieval Christianity understooddying as a profound passage - spiritual, communal, andritual - shaped by hope, fear, and trust in God. Drawing ontheology, history, art, and literature, it examines strategies ofintegrating dying in Christian living and confronting the endof earthly existence spiritually - through prayer, liturgy, andimaginative reflection on the afterlife. At its heart lies a theologicalinquiry: How did medieval theologians and religiouswriters interpret death in relation to salvation, Judgment,memory, and eternal life? Bringing together diverse perspectiveson eschatology, communal experience, ritual, and therules of dying well, this collection reveals medieval death asa richly layered phenomenon between human frailty andfinal destiny. Together, the 20 contributions offer a compellingand nuanced account of how the medieval theologicalimagination aimed to shape the preparation, practice, andcelebration of Christian dying.
