Items related to Pagan Monotheism in Late Antiquity
Synopsis
In this book distinguished experts from a range of disciplines (Orientalists, philologists, philosophers, theologians and historians) address a central problem which lies at the heart of the religious and philosophical debate of late antiquity. Paganism was not a unified tradition and consequently the papers cover a wide social and intellectual spectrum. Particular emphasis is given to several aspects of the topic: first, monotheistic belief in late antique philosophical ideals and its roots in classical antiquity and the Near East; second, monistic Gnosticism; third, the revelatory tradition as expressed in oracular literature; and finally, the monotheistic trend in popular religion.

Review
fascinating (George Steiner, Times Literary Supplement)
essential reading to any student of antiquity: patristic scholars and philosophers of God alike. (Journal of Early Christian Studies)
What this book demonstrates ... is the plain absurdity of equating paganism with polytheism. ... It will henceforth be the fundamental study of this difficult but fascinating subject. (Times Literary Supplement)
sure to become a seminal work ... of interest to scholars, college students, and the general reader interested in theology. (History)
