This volume analyzes concepts, practices and images associated with purity in the main cultures of Antiquity, and discusses from a comparative perspective their parallel developments and transformations. The perspective adopted is both synchronic and diachronic; the comparative approach takes into account points of contact and mutual influences, but also includes major transcultural trends. A number of renowned specialists contribute a large variety of perspectives and approaches, combining archaeology, epigraphy and social history; in addition, particular attention is given to concepts of purity in ancient Israel and early Judaism as a ?test-case? of sorts. Through its extensive coverage, the volume contributes decisively to the present discussion about the forming of religious traditions in the ancient Mediterranean world. 410 0$aDynamics in the History of Religions$v3. 606 $aRites and ceremonies 606 $aRELIGION / Reference$2bisacsh 606 $aPurity, Ritual$xJudaism 606 $aArchaeology and religion 607 $aMediterranean Region$xReligion 610 $aReligion 610 $aHistory of religion 615 0$aRites and ceremonies. 615 7$aRELIGION / Reference 615 0$aPurity, Ritual$xJudaism. 615 0$aArchaeology and religion. 676 $a203 676 $a296.7420937 700 $aFrevel$b Christian$4edt 701 $aFrevel$b Christian$f1962-$01181788 701 $aNihan$b Christophe$f1972-$01220666 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910558099103321 996 $aPurity and the forming of religious traditions in the ancient Mediterranean world and ancient Judaism$92826599 997 $aUNINA
