Just as we speak of "dead" languages, we say that religions "die
out." Yet sometimes, people try to revive them, today more than
ever. New Antiquities addresses this phenomenon through critical
examination of how individuals and groups appeal to,
reconceptualize, and reinvent the religious world of the ancient
Mediterranean as they attempt to legitimize developments in
contemporary religious culture and associated activity. Drawing
from the disciplines of religious studies, archaeology, history,
philology, and anthropology, New Antiquities explores a diversity
of cultic and geographic milieus, ranging from Goddess Spirituality
to Neo-Gnosticism, from rural Oregon to the former Yugoslavia. As a
survey of the reception of ancient religious works, figures, and
ideas in later twentieth-century and contemporary alternative
religious practice, New Antiquities will interest classicists,
Egyptologists, and historians of religion of many stripes,
particularly those focused on modern Theosophy, Gnosticism,
Neopaganism, New Religious Movements, Magick, and Occulture. The
book is written in a lively and engaging style that will appeal to
professional scholars and advanced undergraduates as well as lay
scholars.
