Stroumsa on Religions in the Ancient World

This volume draws together Guy Stroumsa's important writings over the last thirty years on religious traditions in Late Antiquity. The papers deal with the transformation and reinterpretation of ancient traditions (usually Jewish, but in some cases Iranian and Greek) in early Christianity, in Gnosis and in Manichaeism, and in the conflicting relationship between competing religious trends in the Eastern Mediterranean under the Roman Empire.
