ISBN: 9780691256597 - an enchanted world: the shared religious landscape of late antiquity (23 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Uncovering the vibrant spiritual life of Late AntiquityIn Late Antiquity (ca. 200?600 CE), the world was alive with unseen forces?divine agents who influenced every aspect of daily life. For most ordinary people, religion was not found in temples, synagogues, and churches, but in lived experience as they interacted with the supernatural in a world of uncertainty and danger. In An Enchanted World, Michael Satlow uncovers a shared spiritual landscape that stretched beyond the confines of Judaism, Christianity, and the pantheon of Greek and Roman deities. From healing rituals to protective amulets, spiritual practices were a matter of necessity, transcending religious labels. To get by in the world required being on good terms with the right supernatural beings and being able to ward off the bad ones.Rejecting traditional narratives that focus on institutional religion and theological divisions, Satlow presents a compelling case for viewing the period through the lens of ?lived religion.? This was not a religion of abstractions formulated by rabbis and priests, but an enchanted world populated by divine beings who had as much?if not more?agency as any person. Drawing on archaeological evidence, historical documents, and a rich trove of magical texts, Satlow vividly reconstructs how ordinary people lived in a world that crackled with the energy of the supernatural. His account reimagines the spiritual history of Late Antiquity, centering shared human fears and aspirations and challenging preconceived notions about religious boundaries. With An Enchanted World, Satlow offers a fresh perspective on a transformative period?one that has much to teach us even today about the role that spirituality can play in the secular world. …
