How were ideas and experiences of transformation expressed in early
Christianity and early Judaism? This volume explores the social and
philosophical frameworks within which transformative ideas such as resurrection
and practices of becoming ""a new being"" were shaped. It
also explores the analogies and parameters by which transformation was being
observed, noted and asserted. The focus on transformation helps to connect
topics that tend to be studied separately, such as cosmology, resurrection,
aging, gender, and conversion. The textual material is wide-ranging and there
are new readings of core passages. Ideas and experiences of transformations in
early Christianity and early Judaism Connects topics that tend to be studied
seperately (cosmology, resurrection, aging, gender, conversion) With
wide-ranging textual material
