Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il n’existe pas une religion mais des religions dans la Rome antique. En effet, le monde romain est riche d’une très grande diversité religieuse marquée par le polythéisme, avec des milliers de divinités et tout autant de cultes, traversé par d’innombrables influences (grecques, phéniciennes, égyptiennes...). Malgré l’unification politique romaine, circulations, transferts voire syncrétisme se développent, qui influencent la culture et la religion traditionnelles. La religion romaine s’avère très perméable aux emprunts et aux assimilations (à l’exception des monothéismes – judaïsme, puis christianisme – vus comme des incongruités, voire des dangers puisqu’ils refusent le culte impérial.)Cet ouvrage nous plonge dans l’univers religieux des Romains, de la Rome mythique à l’avènement du christianisme, et montre l’omniprésence de la religion dans la sphère publique autant que privée : elle s'exerce dans les temples, mais aussi dans les maisons, les rues, les quartiers, à côté des fontaines, au bord des chemins... L’année est rythmée par un très grand nombre de fêtes religieuses, de cérémonies et de pèlerinages, qui reflètent la très grande diversité des religions, des croyances et des populations qui habitent le monde romain.

Book excerpt: Foisonnante, inventive, en prise constante avec la vie de la Cité, la religion romaine diffère radicalement de nos religions modernes. Elle n'exigeait en effet aucune croyance conforme à une doctrine, ne connaissait ni pratique méditative, ni lectures de textes sacrés, ni prières contemplatives et intériorisées. Les " fidèles " des dieux romains n'étaient pas des croyants pris dans leur vie religieuse personnelle, mais des citoyens conçus dans leur être collectif et leurs aspirations communautaires. Dans la Rome antique, tout acte collectif possédait un aspect " sacré ", et tout acte religieux un aspect civique. C'est cet univers rituel singulier que revisite ici le grand spécialiste de l'Antiquité John Scheid, prenant appui sur les avancées les plus récentes de l'archéologie. Temples des dieux, bâtiments communautaires, règles de consécration, calendriers liturgiques, actes divinatoires, pouvoir des auspices, rites de purification, rôles sacerdotaux tenus par les consuls, gouverneurs, centurions, présidents de collèges d'artisans, pères de famille... John Scheid souligne l'extraordinaire vitalité des rites romains, met en exergue leur puissance d'incantation et leur ambition de réunir à chaque instant les hommes et les dieux.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De la fondation de Romulus à l'Eglise romaine, la religion de la Rome païenne a vécu plus d'un millénaire. Religion du rite, sans mythologie, elle n'a pas à rougir de la confrontation avec une religion grecque plus imaginative. Fidèle à l'héritage de ses ancêtres, elle a su le faire fructifier et évoluer, au rythme des transformations politiques, intellectuelles, spirituelles du monde antique. Cet ouvrage propose non seulement une histoire de la religion, mais une analyse d'ensemble du fait religieux à Rome. Les études de religion romaine ont eu, naguère encore, deux terrains de prédilection : l'analyse des grandes divinités qui structurent la représentation religieuse du Romain, et, chronologiquement, l'époque royale et la République. Il importe d'étudier également les rituels, qui permettent à l'homme d'entrer en relation avec la divinité, ainsi que de ménager sa juste place à l'époque impériale et à ses tentatives de renouveau jusqu'à la fin du paganisme. Auprès des aspects officiels de la religion romaine, on ne négligera ni ses aspects plus personnels et plus intimes, ni les difficultés que, à un moment donné de son histoire, elle n'a plus été capable de résoudre. Crise de la religion traditionnelle, en peine de répondre à des besoins spirituels nouveaux, évasion vers des pratiques et des croyances étrangères en marge des pouvoirs établis les problèmes de la religion romaine sont aussi les nôtres.

Download or read book The Gods the State and the Individual written by John Scheid and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2015-10-20 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roman religion has long presented a number of challenges to historians approaching the subject from a perspective framed by the three Abrahamic religions. The Romans had no sacred text that espoused its creed or offered a portrait of its foundational myth. They described relations with the divine using technical terms widely employed to describe relations with other humans. Indeed, there was not even a word in classical Latin that corresponds to the English word religion. In The Gods, the State, and the Individual, John Scheid confronts these and other challenges directly. If Roman religious practice has long been dismissed as a cynical or naïve system of borrowed structures unmarked by any true piety, Scheid contends that this is the result of a misplaced expectation that the basis of religion lies in an individual's personal and revelatory relationship with his or her god. He argues that when viewed in the light of secular history as opposed to Christian theology, Roman religion emerges as a legitimate phenomenon in which rituals, both public and private, enforced a sense of communal, civic, and state identity. Since the 1970s, Scheid has been one of the most influential figures reshaping scholarly understanding of ancient Roman religion. The Gods, the State, and the Individual presents a translation of Scheid's work that chronicles the development of his field-changing scholarship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provocative reading for anyone interested in Roman culture in the late Republic and early Empire.― Religious Studies Review Was religious practice in ancient Rome cultic and hostile to individual expression? Or was there, rather, considerable latitude for individual initiative and creativity? Jörg Rüpke, one of the world’s leading authorities on Roman religion, demonstrates in his new book that it was a lived religion with individual appropriations evident at the heart of such rituals as praying, dedicating, making vows, and reading. On Roman Religion definitively dismantles previous approaches that depicted religious practice as uniform and static. Juxtaposing very different, strategic, and even subversive forms of individuality with traditions, their normative claims, and their institutional protections, Rüpke highlights the dynamic character of Rome’s religious institutions and traditions. In Rüpke’s view, lived ancient religion is as much about variations or even outright deviance as it is about attempts and failures to establish or change rules and roles and to communicate them via priesthoods, practices related to images or classified as magic, and literary practices. Rüpke analyzes observations of religious experience by contemporary authors including Propertius, Ovid, and the author of the "Shepherd of Hermas." These authors, in very different ways, reflect on individual appropriation of religion among their contemporaries, and they offer these reflections to their readership or audiences. Rüpke also concentrates on the ways in which literary texts and inscriptions informed the practice of rituals.

Download or read book Belief and Cult written by Jacob L. Mackey and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2022-08-02 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking reinterpretation that draws on cognitive theory to show that belief wasn’t absent from—but rather was at the heart of—Roman religion Belief and Cult argues that belief isn’t uniquely Christian but was central to ancient Roman religion. Drawing on cognitive theory, Jacob Mackey shows that despite having nothing to do with salvation or faith, belief underlay every aspect of Roman religious practices—emotions, individual and collective cult action, ritual norms, social reality, and social power. In doing so, he also offers a thorough argument for the importance of belief to other non-Christian religions. At the individual level, the book argues, belief played an indispensable role in the genesis of cult action and religious emotion. However, belief also had a collective dimension. The cognitive theory of Shared Intentionality shows how beliefs may be shared among individuals, accounting for the existence of written, unwritten, or even unspoken ritual norms. Shared beliefs permitted the choreography of collective cult action and gave cult acts their social meanings. The book also elucidates the role of shared belief in creating and maintaining Roman social reality. Shared belief allowed the Romans to endow agents, actions, and artifacts with socio-religious status and power. In a deep sense, no man could count as an augur and no act of animal slaughter as a successful offering to the gods, unless Romans collectively shared appropriate beliefs about these things. Closely examining augury, prayer, the religious enculturation of children, and the Romans’ own theories of cognition and cult, Belief and Cult promises to revolutionize the understanding of Roman religion by demonstrating that none of its features makes sense without Roman belief.

Book excerpt: Dans une langue claire et accessible, Robert Schilling invite le lecteur a une reflexion fondamentale sur la civilisation religieuse de la Rome antique. Faisant un sort aux affirmations des Anciens qui revendiquent pour le peuple romain le titre de " peuple le plus religieux du monde ", il examine la charge semantique du vocabulaire religieux latin avant d'etudier les rites et les cultes. Il montre d'une facon generale, par des analyses precises, que le legs indo-europeen s'est conserve a Rome avec une fidelite parfois surprenante. Soulignant enfin que Rome possede un autre privilege - le commentaire de ses cultes dans les Fastes (dorte de calendrier liturgique compose par le poete Ovide au premier siecle de notre ere) - l'auteur montre que ce poeme, longtemps meconnu, fournit plus d'une cle a l'intelligence des faits religieux. Faits religieux qui ne se limitent pas toujours a l'antiquite classique, mais qui ont parfois un prolongement dans certaines institutions chretiennes.

Download or read book Reviving Roman Religion written by Ailsa Hunt and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-12 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sacred trees are easy to dismiss as a simplistic, weird phenomenon, but this book argues that in fact they prompted sophisticated theological thinking in the Roman world. Challenging major aspects of current scholarly constructions of Roman religion, Ailsa Hunt rethinks what sacrality means in Roman culture, proposing an organic model which defies the current legalistic approach. She approaches Roman religion as a 'thinking' religion (in contrast to the ingrained idea of Roman religion as orthopraxy) and warns against writing the environment out of our understanding of Roman religion, as has happened to date. In addition, the individual trees showcased in this book have much to tell us which enriches and thickens our portraits of Roman religion, be it about the subtleties of engaging in imperial cult, the meaning of numen, the interpretation of portents, or the way statues of the Divine communicate.

Download or read book Sortition and Democracy written by Liliane Lopez-Rabatel and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2020-02-10 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After two centuries during which it had nearly disappeared in Western countries, sortition is used again as a method of selecting people who could speak for, and in certain cases decide for, all the citizenry. What is the meaning of this comeback? To answer this question, this book offers a historical analysis. It brings together a number of the best specialists on political sortition from antiquity to contemporary experiments, in Europe but also in the Ancient Middle East and in imperial China. With a transdisciplinary perspective, this volume demonstrates that sortition has been a crucial device in political history; that the instruments and places where sortition was practised matter for the understanding of the social and political logics at stake; and that these logics have been quite different, random selection being sometimes an instrument of radical democracy and in other contexts a tool for solving conflicts among elites. Will sortition in politics helps to democratize democracy in the twenty-first century?
