What do we fail to see when we force other, earlier cultures into
the Procrustean bed of concepts that organize our contemporary
world? In Imagine No Religion, Carlin A. Barton and Daniel Boyarin
map the myriad meanings of the Latin and Greek words religio and
threskeia, frequently and reductively mistranslated as "religion,"
in order to explore the manifold nuances of their uses within
ancient Roman and Greek societies. In doing so, they reveal how we
can conceptualize anew and speak of these cultures without invoking
the anachronistic concept of religion. From Plautus to Tertullian,
Herodotus to Josephus, Imagine No Religion illuminates cultural
complexities otherwise obscured by our modern-day categories.
