This book reveals the rewards of exploring the relationship between
art and religion in the first millennium, and the particular
problems of comparing the visual cultures of different emergent and
established religions of the period in Eurasia - Buddhism,
Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Islam, Judaism, Christianity and the
pagan religions of the Roman world. Most of these became
established and remained in play as what are called 'the world
religions'. The chapters in this volume show how the long
traditions of studying these topics are caught up in complex local,
ancestral, colonial and post-colonial discourses and biases, which
have made comparison difficult. The study of Late Antiquity turns
out also to be an examination of the intellectual histories of
modernity.
