Description: Just as we speak of 'dead languages we say that religions 'die out'. Yet sometimes people try to revive them today more than ever. New Antiquities addresses this phenomenon through critical examination of how individuals and groups appeal to reconceptualize and reinvent the religious world of the ancient Mediterranean as they attempt to legitimize developments in contemporary religious culture and associated activity. Drawing on the disciplines of religious studies archaeology history philology and anthropology New Antiquities explores a diversity of cultic and geographic milieus ranging from Goddess Spirituality to Neo - Gnosticism from rural Oregon to the former Yugoslavia. As a survey of the reception of ancient religious works figures and ideas in later twentieth - century and contemporary alternative religious practice. New Antiquities will interest classicists Coptologists comparatists and historians of religion of many stripes particularly those focused on modern Theosophy Gnosticism Neopaganism New Religious Movements Magick and Occulture. The book is written in a lively and engaging style that will appeal to professional scholars and advanced undergraduates as well as lay scholars.
