Animals, Gods and Humans: Changing Attitudes to Animals in Greek, Roman and Early Christian Thought de Ingvild Saelid Gilhus

Animals, Gods and Humans: Changing Attitudes to Animals in Greek, Roman and Early Christian Thought

Autor Ingvild Saelid Gilhus
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 feb 2006
Consulting a wide range of key texts and source material, Animals, Gods and Humans covers 800 years and provides a detailed analysis of early Christian attitudes to, and the position of, animals in Greek and Roman life and thought.
Both the pagan and Christian conceptions of animals are rich and multilayered, and Ingvild Sælid Gilhus expertly examines the dominant themes and developments in the conception of animals.
Including study of: biographies of figures such as Apollonus of Tyana; natural history; the New Testament via Gnostic texts; the church fathers; and from pagan and Christian criticism of animal sacrifice, to the acts of martyrs, the source material and detailed analysis included in this volume make it a veritable feast of information for all classicists.

Recenzii

'Gilhus's description of the ways in which ancient perceptions of animals can be said to have changed over centuries through the influence of philosophy and religion ... makes of Animals, Gods and Humans, a valuable complement to recent studies on religious transformation in late Antiquity.' - Scholia Reviews
'An impressive range of information and discussion... a very welcome addition to the growing bibliofraphy.' - History and Culture
