Joseph E. Sanzo: Ritual Boundaries, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"Joseph Sanzo refutes the current view of Christians living amicably alongside their non-Christian neighbors, forcing us to completely rethink how we approach religion in late antiquity. A truly revolutionary book!"--Jan N. Bremmer, author of Maidens, Magic and Martyrs in Early Christianity

"Ritual Boundaries is a deeply stimulating work that examines how our material evidence regarding magic challenges and destabilizes scholarly assumptions and hypotheses about Mediterranean religion in late antiquity. A poignant exercise in the reading of objects, this book takes up familiar words and images and reveals the remarkable--and surprising--lives they 'lived' in ancient Egyptian Christian practice."--Dylan M. Burns, author of Apocalypse of the Alien God: Platonism and the Exile of Sethian Gnosticism
