Imagine No Religion: How Modern Abstractions Hide Ancient Realities by Carlin A.

Description: Imagine No Religion by Carlin A. Barton, Daniel Boyarin Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A study of ancient Latin and Greek words frequently translated religion with a view to showing how such mistranslation seriously obscures our understanding of those cultures including their Jewish and Christian versions. Publisher Description What do we fail to see when we force other, earlier cultures into the Procrustean bed of concepts that organize our contemporary world? In Imagine No Religion, Carlin A. Barton and Daniel Boyarin map the myriad meanings of the Latin and Greek words religio and threskeia, frequently and reductively mistranslated as "religion," in order to explore the manifold nuances of their uses within ancient Roman and Greek societies. In doing so, they reveal how we can conceptualize anew and speak of these cultures without invoking the anachronistic concept of religion. From Plautus to Tertullian, Herodotus to Josephus, Imagine No Religion illuminates cultural complexities otherwise obscured by our modern-day categories. Author Biography Daniel Boyarin is the Hermann P. and Sophia Taubman Professor of Talmudic Culture at the University of California, Berkeley. His books include Imagine No Religion (2016), A Traveling Homeland (2015), and The Jewish Gospels (2013). Details ISBN 0823271196 ISBN-13 9780823271191 Title Imagine No Religion Author Carlin A.
