Description

The first of a two-volume collection of studies that share a common aim in arguing for the historical relevance of various types of ambiguity and dissonance. Volume 1 focuses on ancient henotheism the tendency to direct one's affectionate devotion to one particular god, without, however, denying the existence of other gods or refusing them occasional or even regular cultic attention. The particular gods considered in these three studies are Isis, Dionysus, and Hermes. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
