Examining some of the most significant debates between pagan philosophers and Christian intellectuals on the nature of oracles as a central yet contested element of religious tradition, Addey focuses particularly on Porphyry's Philosophy from Oracles and Iamblichus' De Mysteriis. 410 0$aAshgate studies in philosophy & theology in late antiquity. 606 $aNeoplatonism 606 $aTheurgy 606 $aOracles 606 $aMysteries, Religious 606 $aDivination 615 0$aNeoplatonism. 615 0$aTheurgy. 615 0$aOracles. 615 0$aMysteries, Religious. 615 0$aDivination. 676 $a203/.2 700 $aAddey$b Crystal$0714923 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786812003321 996 $aDivination and theurgy in Neoplatonism$91382758 997 $aUNINA
