Death and Rebirth in Late Antiquity

Memorialized in art, sculpture, epigraphy, and of course texts, the theme of death and rebirth became a central focus of the Christian religion as it developed in late antiquity. This book provides a deep examination of the theme of death and rebirth from various points of view to see how deeply ensconced it was in religious piety.
