Description

Explore the historical and cultural evolution of purgatory in this groundbreaking study by Diana Walsh Pasulka. Published by Oxford University Press, this book examines the intense debates that followed the official definition of purgatory by the Catholic Church in the thirteenth century. Readers will follow the philosophical speculation regarding the location and nature of purgatory, investigating whether its fires were real or figurative and whether it existed on the earth or within it. The text provides a deep look into spatial and material concepts, starting with the work of scholastic theologians such as William of Auvergne and Thomas Aquinas. This historical exploration traces how these theological questions shaped devotional practices and popular culture throughout history.
