This volume will concentrate its search for religious individuality
on texts and practices related to texts from Classical Greece to
Late Antiquity. Texts offer opportunities to express one's own
religious experience and shape one's own religious personality
within the boundaries of what is acceptable. Inscriptions in public
or at least easily accessible spaces might substantially differ in
there range of expressions and topics from letters within a
sectarian religious group (which, at the same time, might put
enormous pressure on conformity among its members, regarded as
deviant by a majority of contemporaries). Furthermore, texts might
offer and advocate new practices in reading, meditating,
remembering or repeating these very texts. Such practices might
contribute to the development of religious individuality,
experienced or expressed in factual isolation, responsibility,
competition, and finally in philosophical or theological
reflections about "personhood" or "self". The volume develops its
topic in three sections, addressing personhood, representative and
charismatic individuality, the interaction of individual and groups
and practices of reading and writing. It explores Jewish,
Christian, Greek and Latin texts.
