R. Dodds anticipated some of the themes now engaging scholars. There is abundant material for the study of religious experience in late antiquity, and through it Professor Dodds examines, from a sociological and psychological standpoint, the personal religious attitudes and experiences common to pagans and Christians in the period between Marcus Aurelius and Constantine. He looks first at general attitudes to the world and the human condition before turning to specific types of human experience. World-hatred and asceticism, dreams and states of possession, and pagan and Christian mysticism are all discussed. Finally Dodds considers both pagan views of Christianity and Christian views of paganism as they emerge in the literature of the time. Although primarily written for social and religious historians, this study will also appeal to all those interested in the ancient world and its thought. 410 0$aWiles lectures ;$v1963. 517 3 $aPagan & Christian in an Age of Anxiety 606 $aExperience (Religion)$xHistory 606 $aChurch history$yPrimitive and early church, ca. 30-600 606 $aPaganism$xHistory 615 0$aExperience (Religion)$xHistory. 615 0$aChurch history 615 0$aPaganism$xHistory. 676 $a291.4/2/09015 700 $aDodds$b E.
