medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Dear Meg,
a good book with bibliography :
Larchet, Jean-Claude. La vie apres la mort selon la tradition orthodoxe. Paris: CERF, 2001.
It has a good dose of patristic references. From the bibliography I would suggest the following items:
The collection:
- La maladie et la mort du chrétien. conférences Saint-Serge, XXIe semain d'études liturgiques, Paris, 1er-4 juillet 1974, Rome 1975.
And:
- Florovsky, Eschatologie ...
- Prestige, Hades ...
- Recheis, A., Engel, Tod, ...
I hope it helps.
Best,
George

Dear Meg,
You should get some good pointers from John M. Dillon, ed., _The Afterlife of the Platonic Soul: Reflections of Platonic Psychology in the Monotheistic Religions_ (Leiden: Brill, 2009), esp. Dirk Krausmüller's contribution on pp. 47-76: "Faith and Reason in Late Antiquity: The Perishability Axiom and its Impact on Christian Views about the Origin and Nature of the Soul".
Best,
John Dillon
