How should ancient religious ideas be approached? Is "religion" an
applicable term to antiquity? Should classicists, ancient
historians, and religious studies scholars work more closely
together? Nickolas P. Roubekas argues that there is a disciplinary
gap between the study of Greek and Roman religions and the study of
“religion” as a category—a gap that has often resulted in
contradictory conclusions regarding Greek and Roman religion. This
book addresses this lack of interdisciplinarity by providing an
overview, criticism, and assessment of this chasm. It provides a
theoretical approach to this historical period, raising the issue
of the relationship between “theory of religion” and “history
of religion,” and explores how history influences theory and vice
versa. It also presents an in-depth critique of some crucial
problems that have been central to the discussions of scholars who
work on Graeco-Roman antiquity, encouraging us to re-examine how we
approach the study of ancient religions.
