Light Against Darkness

Dualism in Ancient Mediterranean Religion and the Contemporary World. Edited by Armin Lange, Eric M. Meyers, Bennie H. Reynolds III and Randall Styers.

This volume is comprised of 18 articles that put on display the power and pervasiveness of dualistic thought. The articles treat Dualism across a wide historical spectrum and from multiple methodological perspectives. The studies are organized around the religious and cultural contexts of Ancient Judaism and they include contributions from leading voices on ancient Persia, Israel, Greece, and Egypt. Experts on modern religious and philosophical thought not only lend context to concepts applied to the ancient world, but engage recent European and American experiments in binary thought. All of the studies contribute to a richer and more complete portrait of dualism in ancient Judaism. With contributions by P. Kyle McCarter Jr, Sydney H. AuFrère, Prods Oktor Skjærvø, Eric M. Meyers, Patrick Lee Miller, Loren T. Stuckenbruck, Philip S. Alexander, Fred L. Horton, Zlatko Plese, Werner Sundermann, John C. Reeves, Piet F. M. Fontaine, Kalman P. Bland, Rodney S. Sadler Jr., Yaakov S. Ariel, Michael A. Rosenthal, Randall Styers, and William G. Lycan. 368 Seiten, gebunden (JAJ.S - Journal of Ancient Judaism.
