Religion in Roman Egypt: Assimilation and Resistance Paperback - 2000

by David Frankfurter


First line

AS MUCH as this book concerns Egyptian religion in its later phases (roughly 100 to 600 C.E.), it is a study in cultural resilience, and it draws comparatively upon other such studies in order to answer the question, How does an established culture preserve its religious ways despite multiple pressures and traumas?

From the rear cover

"Popular religion is at the center of this excellent study. Frankfurter places Christianity in a multifaceted, often unexpected context in the countryside of Egypt. He shows that despite the state's new religion, Egyptian gods, goddesses, and cultic practices persisted. The result is a thoroughly stimulating book---an unusual mix of erudition and interpretation--and one which I read with great pleasure."--Dorothy J. Thompson, Girton College, Cambridge

"Clearly written and well-researched, [Frankfurter's] book is accessible to a wide audience of scholars and lay people alike."--J. G. Manning, Stanford University
