The essays in this volume highlight the multiple perspectives on biblical Paradise from Second Temple Judaism and Christian origins to Augustine and rabbinic literature. Dealing with a variety of texts, they explore the allegorical and literal interpretations of Paradise, the tension between heaven and earth, and Paradise's physical location in space and time.
