The Religion of the Nabataeans: A Conspectus: Religions in the Graeco-Roman World, cartea 136

Autor J.F. Healey
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 mai 2001
The history of the Nabataean Kingdom of Hellenistic-Roman times, centred on Petra, is now well known, but until the publication of this book, no monograph has been devoted to Nabataean religion, known to us principally from inscriptions in Nabataean Aramaic, iconography, archaeology and Greek literary texts.
After a critical survey of the sources, the author analyses systematically the information on the individual gods worshipped by the Nabataeans, including a detailed illustrated account of temples and iconography. A further major section discusses religious themes: aniconism, henotheism, death-cult and the divinisation of kings. In a final chapter, Nabataean religion is considered in relation to Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
The book will be of particular interest to historians of religion in the Graeco-Roman Near East and to Semitic epigraphists.

Recenzii

'Healy, has composed a well-organized synopsis of what has been wirtten about Nabatean religion so far.
Lucinda Dirven, Bibliotheca Orientalis, 2002.

This welcome study finally fills a gap by supplying for the first time a monograph devoted to the Nabataean religion.
L.L. Grabbe, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament, 2002.

The book under review is compulsory (and rewarding) reading for everyone involved, or thinking of becoming involved, in the study of the Nabateans, or of the Pre-islamic Arabs in general, or even more generally, of 'dead' or 'semi-dead' religions. - E.A. Knauf, Orientalistische Literaturzeigung 103, 2008
