Description

Animals, Gods and Humans traces 800 years of evolving attitudes towards animals across Greek, Roman and early Christian cultures. Drawing on a wide range of key texts and source materials, this scholarly work provides detailed analysis of how both pagan and Christian societies conceived of animals and their place in the world. Ingvild S lid Gilhus examines the rich and multilayered conceptions of animals through biographies of classical figures such as Apollonius of Tyana, natural history texts, New Testament and Gnostic writings, church fathers' perspectives, and pagan and Christian criticism. The book offers comprehensive insight into the dominant themes and intellectual developments that shaped how ancient and early medieval civilisations understood the relationship between humans, animals and the divine.
