The Cambridge History of Religions in the Ancient World provides a
comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the religions of the ancient
Near East and Mediterranean world. The fourteen essays in Volume 1
begin in the third millennium BCE with the Sumerians and extend to
the fourth century BCE through the fall of the Achaemenid Persian
Empire and the demise of Alexander the Great. Its contributors, all
acknowledged experts in their fields, analyze a wide spectrum of
textual and material evidence. An introductory essay by the General
Editor sets out the central questions, themes and historical trends
considered in Volumes 1 and 2. Marvin A. Sweeney provides an
introduction to the chapters of Volume 1. The regional and
historical orientations of the essays will enable readers to see
how a religious tradition or movement assumed a distinctive local
identity, even as they view its development within a comparative
framework. Supplemented with maps, illustrations and detailed
indexes, the volume is an excellent reference tool for scholars of
the ancient Near East and Mediterranean world.
