Description

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. 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, and offers solutions that may lead to a more scientific study of Greek and Roman religions. In addressing these issues, Roubekas advocates for more interdisciplinarity between religious studies and classical studies, encouraging a re-examination of their approach to the study of religions of the past. Review "This book is one of a kind. Nickolas P. Roubekas successfully demonstrates how Greek and Roman religions have been historically studied in a one-sided manner. Consequently, he offers appealing and innovative discussions on how this could be amended, primarily by suggesting a more inter-disciplinary collaboration, which includes the findings of the cognitive science of religion." --Panayotis Pachis, Professor of Religious Studies, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece "An interdisciplinary approach to the study of ancient religion is often invoked, but seldom seriously implemented. This book is a valuable reflection on the necessity to build real bridges between classics and religious studies, dwelling deeply on the recent history of both disciplines, their prejudices, and their self-limiting boundaries. Even those who do not share Roubekas' proposals will profit from his clear, thorough, and honest discussions of scholarship." -- Miguel Herrero de Jáuregui, Professor of Greek Philology, Complutense University of Madrid, Spain About the Author Nickolas P. Roubekas is Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Vienna, Austria. He is the author of An Ancient Theory of Religion (2017), editor of Theorizing ‘Ancient’ Religions (2018), and co-editor of The Journal of Cognitive Historiography.
