Is there a future after death and what does this future look like? What kind of life can we expect, and in what kind of world? Is there another, hopefully better world than the one we live in? The articles collected in this volume, all written by leading experts in the field, deal with the question how ancient Jewish and Christian authors describe “otherworldly places and situations”. They investigate why various forms of texts were created to address the questions above, how these texts functioned, and how they have to be understood. It is shown how ancient descriptions of the “otherworld” are taking over and reworking existing motifs, forms and genres, but also that they mirror concrete problems, ideas, experiences, and questions of their authors and the first readers.

Un tour d'horizon parmi les grandes religions polytheistes ou monotheistes, occidentales ou orientales, revele les divergences et les similitudes des conceptions sur la vie apres la vie. Debarrassee de son enveloppe charnelle. l'ame entreprend un long et perilleux voyage parseme d'embuches. Emmenee par des guides psychopompes, elle franchit des ports etroits et des fleuves. elle escalade des echelles, elle traverse des tunnels... Soumise a de nombreuses epreuves. dont celles de la balance et du miroir, interrogee par des juges implacables, elle parvient enfin a sa destination finale ou l'attendent tantot une pale survie au royaume des ombres, tantot les supplices des enfers, tantot encore les delices du paradis. Cet ouvrage permet de decouvrir en quelques heures de lecture - et donc de comparer a loisir - differentes geographies funeraires mythiques, les multiples epreuves endurees par les ames en partance vers l'au-dela, les supplices de l'enfer. les delices du paradis. ainsi que les croyances en la resurrection ou en la reincarnation. Il reunit cote a cote les croyances eschatologiques des grandes religions du monde. celles de l'Antiquite, du Livre, de l'Orient, des peuples sans ecriture, sans oublier les innovations esoteriques de notre Occident contemporain et les critiques adressees a ces croyances par tous ceux pour qui le ciel est vide.
