Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Minor shelf wear. Else a bright, clean copy. What was the ancient world like? Ancient sources tell us a great deal about the cultural patterns and values that prevailed in the Mediterranean of the biblical periods: how they constructed identity how they exercised control over groups, space, gender, and dress how they thought of friendship how they participated in social and economic exchange how ritual functioned and how kinship was constructed what healing practices, evil eye, and altered states of consciousness tell us about their sciences how they talked about each other behind their backs, and why The Ancient Mediterranean Social World makes the rich social context of the ancient Mediterranean available to readers through succinct introduction of key ideas, thoughtful selection of translated primary sources, and extensive cataloging of relevant primary sources. Zeba Crook brings together leading scholars to write on twenty different topics, from patronage to gender to loyalty to evil eye. Each chapter opens with an introduction to the topic, offers a short list of secondary sources, and an extensive list of primary sources. The passages in each chapter reflect the vast array of sources roughly from Homer to Augustine, including epigraphical, papyrological, literary, historical, philosophical, biblical, and dramatic texts. This authoritative volume serves as a ready reference for the novice and experienced scholar alike. Contributors: Alicia J. Batten, Giovanni B. Bazzana, Agnes Choi, Zeba A. Crook, John W.

Paperback or Softback. Condition: New. Religions of a Single God: A Critical Introduction to Monotheisms from Judaism to Baha'i. Book.

Condition: As New. Unread book in perfect condition.

Paperback. Condition: New. In some ways, this book fits into the long tradition of textbooks on Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It seeks to teach the basics both of the study of religion and the study of the religions themselves. For each religion, it presents the trajectories of development over time, the main theological debates and claims, the sacred writings, and the common practices and holy days. Yet, in other ways, this book is like no other introductory textbook on Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Rather than claim to show the "essence" of Judaism, Christianity, or Islam, this book shows the diversity within Jewish, Christian, and Islamic experience, theological dispute, and practice. Rather than rely solely on the traditional theorists of religion, the "giants," this book updates the approach, relying also on the newest critical thinkers on defining, classifying, and studying religion. Rather than present Latter-Day Saints and Baha'i Religion as among the New Religious Movements, this book treats them as part of the continuing history of religion, growing out of and within Christianity and Islam respectively. Religion, in other words, is not a thing of the past. It's happening right now, all around us.…

Crook offers the most literal, word-for-word translation available, helping readers to compare the structure, order, style, theology, and vocabulary of each gospel with the others.…
