Roger Beck, a world authority on Mithraism, brings together his
major writings on the Mysteries of Mithras in the context of the
culture and religions of imperial Rome. In these studies he opens
new vistas on myth making, ritual, symbolism, the role of astrology
in the cult, recently discovered Mithraic monuments and artefacts,
and the emergence of Mithraism and Christianity concurrently in the
first century. Beck offers new introductions to his thematically
framed groups of writings and adds six entirely new essays
published here for the first time. These essays link his research
to contemporary studies in cognitive science of religion and
anthropology of religion. This collection will appeal particularly
to scholars exploring contemporary aspects in anthropology of
religion, astronomy and astrology, cults and myths, images and
symbols, as well as traditional scholars of Greco-Roman antiquity
and Christian origins.
