<i>Empsychoi Logoi</i> — Religious Innovations in Antiquity: Studies in Honour of Pieter Willem van der Horst: Ancient Judaism and Early Christianity, cartea 73

Editat de Alberdina Houtman, Albert de Jong, Magda Misset-Van de Weg
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 apr 2008
The fact that religions show internal variation and develop over time is not only a problem for believers, but has also long engaged scholars. This is especially true for the religions of the ancient world, where the mere idea of innovation in religious matters evoked notions of revolution and destruction. With the emergence of new religious identities from the first century onwards, we begin to find traces of an entirely new vision of religion. The question was not whether a particular belief was new, but whether it was true and the two were no longer felt to be mutually exclusive. The present volume brings together articles that study this transformation, ranging from broad overviews to detailed case-studies.

Recenzii

"This volume will be an asset to students and scholars of the phenomenology of religions as well as to those interested in the formative years of Christianity and how it adapted to and was divergent from the Judeo-Hellenistic world." – Mark Mason, in: Journal for the Study of Judaism 41 (2010)

"This Festschrift addresses crucial issues in ancient and modern day religion. These essays offer fresh perspectives on the examples of religious change and innovation in antiquity, and provide the readers with metholodical guidance for the study of other instances, as well as sharpening our awareness for change and innovation in present-day religion - for better or for worse." – Christoph Stenschke, in: Religion & Theology 19 (2012)

'This list of distinguished contributors will, it is to be hoped, persuade readers to consult the volume, for they will find much to stiumlate them here, with a number of the essays seeking to offer new interpretations of familiar topics, and other introuding new, er reviving older less well-studied, texts. It is to be hoped that the honorand, who fully deserves such a rich tribute, will take much pleasure from these lievely words and arguments. '
Judith Lieu, University of Cambridge, in: Journal of Jewish Studies volume 16 (2010)
