2014 Religion: Antiquity and Modern Legacy
2014
What is a religion? What triggered the spontaneous development of distinct religions throughout the ancient world? How do religions evoke the ultimate realities they claim to address? Such questions are as evergreen as belief itself. The Hellenistic and Roman worlds were a fertile seedbed of the monotheistic faiths that dominate today's western image of religion, as well as many global conflicts. In this concise and elegant overview, Jörg Rüpke addresses the similarities and differences of religions in antiquity, tracing their sometimes complex lineage into modern systems of belief. Greek and Roman religion is discussed not in isolation, but in the broader context of western Asia and Egypt. The author also addresses developments relating to early Islam on the south-eastern margins of the Byzantine Empire. Examining such topics as the functions of priests and religious functionaries; religious individualism; the relationship between religion and political identity; the acceptance of the pagan Julian calendar by Christians; and contrasting ancient and modern understandings of divination, Rüpke shows that study of pre-modern culture enables us more daringly to explore the contemporary religious world.
Introduction: Coming to Terms with Ancient Religion
Religion in the Roman Empire, 2018
In this issue, ancient historians, classical archaeologists and historians of religion are brought together in order to offer various perspectives, which all need to be taken into consideration when engaging with terminology. It becomes clear that there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach when tackling ancient terminology or the terminology applied to ancient objects by modern scholarship. Every researcher, so to say, needs to start over and engage with the terminology in context – both its original context as well as the discourse, which may have developed around it.
