The Use and Dissemination of Religious Knowledge in Antiquity [Large Print]

by Edelman

Ancient Mesopotamian, biblical, rabbinic, and Christian literature was created and transmitted by the intellectual elite and therefore presents their world views and perspectives. This volume investigates for the first time whether and to what extent religious knowledge-"sacred" narratives, customary practices, legal rules, family traditions, festival observances-was accessible to and known by ordinary people beyond religious functionaries.
