Rescue for the Dead: The Posthumous Salvation of Non-Christians in Early Christianity - Oxford Studies in Historical Theology
Trumbower, Jeffrey A. (Associate Professor of Religious Studies, Associate Professor of Religious Studies, St. Michael's College, Colchester)
Examines how and why death came to be perceived as such a firm boundary of salvation. Analyzing exceptions to this principle from ancient Christianity, this book states that the principle itself was slow to develop and not universally accepted in the Christian movement's first four hundred years.
