This book, written by IBT translation consultant Alexey Somov, was published by T&T Clark Bloomsbury and has been on the market since Feb. 2017.This book is a revised version of his PhD dissertation defended in January 2014 at VU University Amsterdam.
Questions regarding the afterlife are many, and the Gospel of Luke and the book of Acts pay a great deal of attention to them: why does Luke speak about several different forms of the afterlife? Why is resurrection described as a person's transformation into an angelic being? How many abodes are appointed for the righteous and the wicked after death? Alexey Somov addresses these queries in relation to the apparent confusion and variety found in the text, and in respect of the interrelatedness of these issues, and their connection with other eschatological issues in Luke-Acts, and in relation to the wider cultural context of the Mediterranean world to which Luke belonged.
