211 p.: Maps. Cloth with dustjacket. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Schutzumschlag berieben, einige handschriftliche Anmerkungen im Buch, sonst sehr gut und sauber / dust jacket rubbed, some handwritten annotations in the book, otherwise very good and clean. - In this book various authors address the problem which lies at the heart of the religious and philosophical debate of late antiquity. Paganism was not a unified tradition and so the subjects that are discussed cover a wide social and intellectual spectrum. Particular emphasis, though, is laid on such themes as monotheistic belief in the philosophy of late antiquity; its roots in classical antiquity and the Near East; monistic Gnosticism; the revelatory tradition as expressed in oracular literature in late antiquity; and the monotheistic trend in popular religion. The distinguished experts who have contributed to this volume come from a range of disciplines. They are philosophers, philologists, theologians, and historians, therefore scholars in all these areas should find this book of value to them. / Contents List of Contributors Introduction POLYMNIA ATHANASSIADI AND MICHAEL FREDE 1 Towards Monotheism M.
