This book was released on 2018-03-07 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: À une époque où le fait religieux prend une très grande importance, il était nécessaire pour bien comprendre les religions du Livre de revoir où, quand et comment elles sont nées et se sont développées. Les recherches archéologiques ont renouvelé les problèmes en apportant des éclairages inédits sur leurs origines. Au cours de la préhistoire, les hommes étaient soumis aux contraintes implacables de la nature (orages, foudre, incendies, cyclones, inondations) avec des animaux sauvages dangereux. Les chamanes ont alors inventé des « esprits » gouvernant ces phénomènes, avec lesquels ils apprirent à communiquer. Ce fut le début des croyances, l’animisme. Le réchauffement du Néolithique a entraîné un changement social majeur avec le développement de l’agriculture, de l’élevage nomade et de la sédentarité. Les « esprits » chamaniques sont devenus des « divinités » formant des « panthéons » très complets avec l’invention de mythes explicatifs répondant aux grandes questions existentielles. Les chefs sont devenus des rois, ou des empereurs, cumulant les fonctions temporelles et spirituelles en s’autoproclamant rois divins pour mieux imposer leur volonté aux peuples. Ce livre fait le bilan des divers panthéons divins du monde en montrant comment l’un d’entre eux, celui d’Ougarit au Proche-Orient, a donné naissance au judaïsme. Toute l’histoire des Hébreux, la rédaction des textes sacrés bibliques sont revues et corrigées à la lumière des données archéologiques. Issu du judaïsme, l’enseignement de Jésus a donné, grâce à saint Paul, naissance au christianisme qui, après une période de persécutions est devenue la religion d’état de l’Empire romain. Enfin dans la péninsule arabique, un nouveau monothéisme s’est développé à partir de l’hanafisme abrahamique, l’islam qui, avec Mahomet, s’est imposé grâce aux guerres de conquête. Cette histoire des religions dans leur contexte historique permet de mieux comprendre d’où viennent les diverses conceptions des religions actuelles. Que vous soyez croyant, agnostique ou athée, ce livre vous apportera de nouvelles perspectives à méditer qui expliquent aussi de très nombreux aspects mal compris de la situation politico-religieuse actuelle de notre monde.

Download or read book Archaeology Ritual Religion written by Timothy Insoll and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-04-01 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The archaeology of religion is a much neglected area, yet religious sites and artefacts constitute a major area of archaeological evidence. Timothy Insoll presents an introductory statement on the archaeology of religion, examining what archaeology can tell us about religion, the problems of defining and theorizing religion in archaeology, and the methodology, or how to 'do', the archaeology of religion. This volume assesses religion and ritual through a range of examples from around the world and across time, including prehistoric religions, shamanism, African religions, death, landscape and even food. Insoll also discusses the history of research and varying theories in this field before looking to future research directions. This book will be a valuable guide for students and archaeologists, and initiate a major area of debate.
Download or read book Lived Religion in the Ancient Mediterranean World written by Valentino Gasparini and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-04-06 with total page 605 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lived Ancient Religion project has radically changed perspectives on ancient religions and their supposedly personal or public character. This volume applies and further develops these methodological tools, new perspectives and new questions. The religious transformations of the Roman Imperial period appear in new light and more nuances by comparative confrontation and the integration of many disciplines. The contributions are written by specialists from a variety of disciplinary contexts (Jewish Studies, Theology, Classics, Early Christian Studies) dealing with the history of religion of the Mediterranean, West-Asian, and European area from the (late) Hellenistic period to the (early) Middle Ages and shaped by their intensive exchange. From the point of view of their respective fields of research, the contributors engage with discourses on agency, embodiment, appropriation and experience. They present innovative research in four fields also of theoretical debate, which are “Experiencing the Religious”, “Switching the Code”, „A Thing Called Body“ and “Commemorating the Moment”.
Download or read book BELIEF IN THE PAST written by David S Whitley and published by Left Coast Press. This book was released on 2008-07-15 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human actions are often deeply intertwined with religion and can be understood in a strictly religious context. Yet, many volumes and articles pertaining to discussions of religion in the archaeological past have focused primarily on the sociopolitical implications of such remains. The authors in this volume argue that while these interpretations certainly have a meaningful place in understanding the human past, they provide only part of the picture. Because strictly religious contexts have often been ignored, this has resulted in an incomplete assessment of religious behavior in the past. This volume considers exciting new directions for considering an archaeology of religion, offering examples from theory, tangible archaeological remains, and ethnography.

Download or read book An Archaeology of Religion written by Kit W. Wesler and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2012-04-20 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archaeologists have been increasingly turning their attention to the study of religion, but the field so far has lacked a cross-cultural overview. This text challenges archaeological conventions by refusing to respect the geographic and temporal boundaries with which archaeologists too often define their field. Worldwide in range and comparative in perspective, this exploration is guided by several fundamental questions: how do we recognize religion in the archaeological record? When should we recognize the first activities we call religious? What distinguishes a world religion? How can we see the formations of modern world religions in the archaeological record? An Archaeology of Religion begins with the first glimmers of what might be considered religious expression in the Paleolithic period and concludes with the complexities of world religions today. This book is an ambitious attempt to survey how scholars approach the identification of religious sites and practices in the archaeological record.

Download or read book The Archaeology of Religion written by Sharon R. Steadman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2023-12-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new and updated edition of Archaeology of Religion explores how archaeology interprets past religions, offering insights into how archaeologists seek out the religious, ritual, and symbolic meaning behind what they discover in their research. The book includes case studies from around the world, from the study of Upper Palaeolithic and hunter-gatherer religions to religious structures and practices in complex societies of the Americas, Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, and China. Steadman also includes chapters on the origins and development of key contemporary religions--Judaism, Christianity, Islam, among others--to provide an historical and comparative context. Three main themes are threaded throughout the book. These main themes involve the intersection between cultural and religious structures ("religion reflects culture"), including the importance of environment in shaping a culture's religion, the role religion can sometimes play as a method of social control, and the role religion can sometimes play as a key component in revitalizing a culture. Updated with new discoveries and theories and with two new chapters (Hunter-Gatherer Religions, and Cultures in East Asia), and with new sections on Neolithic Western Asia, the book remains an ideal introduction for courses that include a significant component on past cultures and their religions.
Download or read book The Handbook of Religions in Ancient Europe written by Lisbeth Bredholt Christensen and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Handbook of Religions in Ancient Europe surveys the major religious currents of Europe before Christianity - the first continental religion with hegemonic ambition - wiped out most local religions. The evidence - whether archaeological or written - is notoriously difficult to interpret, and the variety of religions documented by the sources and the range of languages used are bewildering. The Handbook brings together leading authorities on pre-Christian religious history to provide a state-of-the-art survey. The first section of the book covers the Prehistoric period, from the Paleolithic to the Bronze Age. The second section covers the period since writing systems began. Ranging across the Mediterranean and Northern, Celtic and Slavic Europe, the essays assess the archaeological and textual evidence. Dispersed archaeological remains and biased outside sources constitute our main sources of information, so the complex task of interpreting these traces is explained for each case. The Handbook also aims to highlight the plurality of religion in ancient Europe: the many ways in which it is expressed, notably in discourse, action, organization, and material culture; how it is produced and maintained by different people with different interests; how communities always connect with or disassociate from adjunct communities and how their beliefs and rituals are shaped by these relationships. The Handbook will be invaluable to anyone interested in ancient History and also to scholars and students of Religion, Anthropology, Archaeology, and Classical Studies.
