Description
Religious Competition in the Greco-Roman World by Nathaniel P. DesRosiers and Lily C. Vuong explores the complex interactions between ancient thinkers, their ideas, and the cultural contexts in which they developed. This collection of essays examines the strategies used to establish orthodoxy and orthopraxy, shedding new light on the religious landscape of late antiquity. By analyzing competitive discourses, the authors provide a nuanced understanding of the mutual influence and exchange among ancient communities, including Judaism, Christianity, paganism, and philosophy. Through its unique theoretical models and wide-ranging perspectives, this volume offers a comprehensive portrait of the religious world in late antiquity, highlighting the dynamic relationships between individuals, groups, and traditions.
