The Encyclopedia of Religious and Philosophical Writings in Late Antiquity offers easily accessible introductions to the content and historical setting of the main writings of Greco-Roman paganism, early Judaism, and formative Christianity from the period of Alexander the Great to Mohammed. Examining over seven hundred ancient texts, the Encyclopedia provides for each document details of authorship and provenance, a statement of the text's content and place within its religious tradition, a listing of editions and commentaries, and a bibliography of the pertinent scholarly literature. The Encyclopedia of Religious and Philosophical Writings in Late Antiquity is an unparalleled resource both for general readers and for scholars of ancient religion and philosophy.

Originally published in hardcover.

Industry Reviews

"...a worthwile addition to a the reference collection of research libraries, and a useful complement to other encyclopedias of late antiquity. Recommended. Upper level undergraduates through faculty/resarchers; general readers." - J. Schott, in: Choice, July 2008 "The treatments of each text are centrist, succint and balanced. ...the strength of the volume arises from the broad spectrum of texts brought together, which outstrips the specialized knowledge of any single scholar. ... a helpful volume..." - Paul Foster, in: Expository Times, June 2008 "...a useful reference tool... The treatment of the works that are included is usually of high quality." - Christoph Stenschke, in: Religion and Theology 16 (2009)
