The Fate of the Dead: Studies on the Jewish and Christian Apocalypses »

Richard Bauckham is Professor of New Testament Studies at the University of St Andrews, Scotland. He has published very widely in theology, early Judaism, and biblical studies. Apocalyptic literature has long been one major focus of his work.

These pioneering studies of personal eschatology in the Jewish and Christian apocalypses, including those neglected apocalypses which focus on life after death, make an important contribution to understanding ideas and images of the hereafter in early Judaism and Christianity.
