Storia del limbo

Franceschini, Chiara (2016): Storia del limbo. Milano: Feltrinelli.

Abstract

A rigorous study of the most ambiguous image in the history of Christianity. From the Middle Ages until today the image of limbo has evoked ancient ideas of the afterlife and challenged the Christian boundary between nature and grace. Around this notion worked the many theologians, artists and writers who felt called to answer the pressing questions about the salvation of the unbaptized dead.
