Description
Pantheon: A New History of Roman Religion by Jörg Rüpke provides a comprehensive and strikingly original narrative history of ancient Roman and Mediterranean religion. Spanning over 1,000 years from the late Bronze Age to late antiquity, this book offers a radically new picture of both Roman religion and a crucial period in Western religious history. Drawing on a vast range of literary and archaeological evidence, Pantheon explores how Roman religion was shaped by its changing historical contexts, as well as how it influenced Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and the modern concept of religion. The book treats religion as inseparable from political, social, economic, and cultural developments, offering a nuanced view of central concepts such as "temple," "altar," and "votive." With its unique emphasis on lived religion, this generously illustrated book provides insights into how individuals' experiences and practices transformed religion into something different from its official form.
