| Abstract
|
:
|
This book traces purgatory's roots in the texts and debates of late antiquity. Illuminating the varied perspectives on post-mortem purgation in late antiquity, Moreira challenges the conclusions of recent scholarship through an examination of the texts, communities and cultural ideas that informed purgatory's early history.
