Synopsis

For those of you who like jargon, this book is about propaganda, protreptics, apologetics and polemics. For those of you who don't, this is a study of ancient religious discourse and the interaction between different religious groups. These ten papers were given at a conference organised by the Faculty of Theology at the University of Utrecht and the Catholic Theological University in Utrecht held in 2002 to mark the start of a programme of research concerned with religious interaction in antiquity. Subjects include: Propaganda in the Cult of Isis; Anti-Samaritan propaganda in early Judaism; Irony as propaganda in Mark 15:39?; Fulfilment of scripture as a propaganda tool in early Christianity. Papers in English (7) and German (3).
