Secret mystery cults flourished within the larger culture of the public religion of Greece and Rome for roughly a thousand years. This book is neither a history nor a survey but a comparative phenomenology, concentrating on five major cults. 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 great sensitivity and sympathy in interpreting the experiences and motivations of the devotees.Country/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: Carl Newell Jackson LecturesRelease Year: 1989 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
