The Cambridge Companion to Ancient Mediterranean Religions provides an introduction to the major religions of this area and explores current research regarding the similarities and differences among them. The period covered is from the prehistoric period to late antiquity, that is, ca.4000 BCE to 600 CE. The first nine essays in the volume provide an overview of the characteristics and historical developments of the major religions of the region, including those of Egypt, Mesopotamia, Syria-Canaan, Israel, Anatolia, Iran, Greece, Rome and early Christianity. The last five essays deal with key topics in current research on these religions, including violence, identity, the body, gender and visuality, taking an explicitly comparative approach and presenting recent theoretical and methodological advances in contemporary scholarship. 410 0$aCambridge companions to religion. 606 $aReligiķ$2thub 607 $aMediterrānia (Regiķ)$2thub 607 $aMediterranean Region$xReligion 608 $aLlibres electrōnics$2thub 615 7$aReligiķ 676 $a200.937 702 $aSpaeth$b Barbette Stanley 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996210791403316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to ancient Mediterranean religions$92426356 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
