More about the book

Exploring the intersection of Judaism and Christianity, this work delves into how humanity grapples with the physical aspects of life and death throughout history. It traverses the ancient Mediterranean, examining various artifacts that illuminate the transnational narrative of early Christianity. By employing a psychoanalytical lens on materialist studies, the author enriches our comprehension of religious histories while also reflecting on the diverse methodologies that shape our understanding of the past and our emotional connections to it.
