This volume is a study of the religious system of Mithraism, one of
the "mystery cults" popular in the Roman Empire contemporary with
early Christianity. Roger Beck describes Mithraism from the point
of view of the initiate engaging with the religion and its rich
symbolic system in thought, word, ritual action, and cult life. He
employs the methods of anthropology of religion and the new
cognitive science of religion to explore in detail the semiotics of
the Mysteries' astral symbolism, which has been the principal
subject of his many previous publications on the cult.
