Critic Reviews

“"The Religious History of the Roman Empire is a useful and challenging compilation of some very hard-to-come-by papers and will provide students of ancient paganism, Judaism, and Christianity with much fodder for further and more in-depth investigation of Roman religious life."--Bryn Mawr Classical Review "Overall, the book is handsomely produced...The Religious History of the Roman Empire is a useful and challenging compilation of some very hard-to-come-by papers and will provide students of ancient paganism, Judaism, and Christianity with much fodder for further and more in-depth investigation of Roman religious life."--Bryn Mawr Classical Review "Fascinating...Research libraries and the students who use them will benefit greatly from having access to the collection of these significant articles."--Religious Studies Review”

It is an important book, not just because of the status and quality of the contributors which are outstanding, but perhaps even more so because this is a successful attempt at bringing together scholars working in related, yet all too often regarded or treated as different fields. J. Verheyden, Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses
