This volume brings theoretical and methodological discussions from
religious studies, ancient history, and classics to the study of
ancient religions, thus attempting to bridge a disciplinary chasm
often apparent in the study of religions in antiquity. It examines
theoretical discourses on the specificity, origin, and function of
'religion' in antiquity, broadly defined here as the period from
the 6th century BCE to the 4th century CE. In addition, it explores
the crucial question of what is meant by the term 'religion' and
its applicability when employed to describe traditions that
antedate the historical periods known as the Enlightenment and the
Reformation. Theorizing about religion is often seen as an
accomplishment of modernity, neglecting the insights stemming from
the 'pre-modern' period. The contributors to this volume offer
detailed discussions and links between how the ancients theorized
about their religions and how modern scholars discuss about such
discourses in their academic environments.
