Softcover. Zustand: Very Good. Minor shelfwear. Spine sunned. ; 272 pages; Sacrifice--ranging from the sacrifice of virgins to circumcision to giving up what is most valued--is essential to all religions. Could there be a natural, even biological, reason for these practices? Something that might explain why religions of so many different cultures share so many rituals and concepts? In this extraordinary book, one of the world's leading authorities on ancient religions explores the possibility of natural religion--a religious sense and practice naturally proceeding from biological imperatives. Because they lack later refinements, the earliest religions from the Near East, Israel, Greece, and Rome may tell us a great deal about the basic properties and dynamics of religion, and it is to these cultures that Walter Burkert looks for answers. His book takes us on an intellectual adventure that begins some 5,000 years ago and plunges us into a fascinating world of divine signs and omens, offerings and sacrifices, rituals and beliefs unmitigated by modern science and sophistication. Tracing parallels between animal behavior and human religious activity, Burkert suggests natural foundations for sacrifices and rituals of escape, for the concept of guilt and punishment, for the practice of gift exchange and the notion of a cosmic hierarchy, and for the development of a system of signs for negotiating with an uncertain environment. Again and again, he returns to the present to remind us that, for all our worldliness, we are not so far removed from the first Homo religiosus.

Erstausgabe
Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 8vo. ix, 1-181p. Abbreviations, Bibliography, Notes, Index of Greek Terms, and General Index. Gold colored wrappers printed in white on the front cover and the spine and with a vignette of a black snake on the front panel. Just touches of wear to the extremities, corners ever so slightly starting to turn up , wrappers clean and bright, else near fine to fine with no internal markings. Walter Burkert was Professor of Classical Philology in the University of Zurich. This book comprises the Carl Newell Jackson Lectures. " The foremost historian of Greek religion provides the first comprehensive, comparative study of a little known aspect of ancient religious beliefs and practices. Secret mystery cults flourished within the larger culture of the public religion of Greece and Rome for roughly 1000 years. This book is neither a history nor a survey but a comparative phenomenology, concentrating on five major cults [Eleusis, Dionysiac or Bacchic mysteries, mysteries of Meter, Isis, and Mithras]. In defining the mysteries and describing their rituals, membership, organization, and dissemination, Walter Burkert displays the remarkable erudition we have come to expect of him; he also shows sensitivity and sympathy in interpreting the experiences and motivations of the devotees." [from the rear panel] An important updating of the work of Richard Reitzenstein and Franz Cumont and a "must" for anyone interested in the ancient mystery cults By the leading expert in the field.
