Terms for eternity : aiônios and aídios in classical and Christian texts

Ilaria Ramelli (Author), David Konstan (Author)
What is truly timeless? This book explores two ancient Greek terms for eternity, aiônios and aïdios. It traces these terms from their earliest occurrence in Pre-Socratic philosophy and Plato and through their interaction with Jewish thought and down into the patristic fathers, where they play a crucial role in debates over eternal punishment vs. universal salvation
