The current volume exhibits many of the characteristics of its predecessors: the presentation of novel, revisionist points of view...; discrete set pieces of trenchant argument which do not necessarily conform to the boundaries of traditional history; and an impressive, authoritative, and up-to-date documentation, especially rich in primary sources...A stimulating and provocative discourse on Roman paganism as a phenomenon worthy of synthetic investigation in its own right and as the fundamental context for the rise of Christianity.\"-Richard Brilliant, History \"MacMullen's latest work represents many features of paganism in its social context more vividly and clearly than ever before.\"-Fergus Millar, American Historical Review \"The major cults...are examined from a social and cultural perspective and with the aid of many recently published specialized studies...Students of the Roman Empire...should read this book.\"-Robert J, Penella, Classical World \"A distinguished book with much exact observation...An indispensable mine of erudition on a grand theme.\" Henry Chadwick, Times Literary Supplement Ramsay MacMullen is Dunham Professor of History and Classics at Yale University and the author of Roman Government's Response to Crisis, A.D. 235-337 and Roman Social Relations, 50 B.C. to A.D. 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ramsay MacMullen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300029845\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300029840\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/1983\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.15h x 6.09w x 0.67d","brand":"Ramsay MacMullen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43913582510335,"sku":"9780300029840","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5c8a8ab5-7392-4e38-948b-749359872aa6.jpg?v=1680621186","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/paganism-in-the-roman-empire-ramsay-macmullen-9780300029840","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
