Translated from Greek, Latin, Syriac, Ethiopic, Georgian, and Christain Palestinian Aramaic, each of these texts is either translated into a modern language for the first time, or appears in a version that has not previously been published. The texts represent a broad range of the highly diverse early Christian memories of Mary's departure from this world. Likewise, the texts themselves often disclose a range of theological diversity within the early Christian tradition even beyond what scholars have thus far recognizedSoggetto topico:Bibbia - Apocrifi NT - Dormizione di MariaBibbia - Apocrifi NT - VangeliISBN:978-2-503-60616-3Livello bibliograficoMonografiaFormato:Materiale a stampaLingua di pubblicazione:IngleseAltri autori:Shoemaker, Stephen J., <1968- >
