This book investigates the problem of esoteric traditions in early Christianity, their origin and their transformation in Patristic hermeneutics, in the West as well as in the East. It argues that these traditions eventually formed the basis of nascent Christian mysticism in Late Antiquity. These esoteric traditions do not reflect the influence of Greek Mystery religions, as has often been claimed, but rather seem to stem from the Jewish background of Christianity. They were adopted by various Gnostic teachings, a fact which helps explaining their eventual disappearance from Patristic literature. The eleven chapters study each a different aspect of the problem, including the questions of Gnostic and Manichaean esotericism. This book will be of interest to all students of religious history in Late Antiquity. Revised and extended paperback edition. Originally published in 1996. Please click here for details.

We see the word "religion" everywhere, yet do we understand what it means, and is there a consistent worldwide understanding? Who discovered religion and in what context? In A New Science, Guy Stroumsa offers an innovative and powerful argument that the comparative study of religion finds its origin in early modern Europe. The world in which this new category emerged was marked by three major historical and intellectual phenomena: the rise of European empires, that gave birth to ethnological curiosity; the Reformation, which permanently altered Christianity; and the invention of philology, a discipline that transformed Western intellectual thought. Against this complex historical backdrop, Stroumsa guides us through the lives and writings of the men who came to define the word "religion."As Stroumsa boldly argues, the modern study of religion, a new science, was made possible through a dialectical process between Catholic and Protestant scholars. Ancient Israelite religion, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Manichaeanism, Zoroastrianism, the sacred beliefs of the New World, and those of Greece, Rome, India, and China, composed the complex ground upon which "religion," a most modern category, was discovered.

Ce livre propose un parcours à travers l'histoire de la réflexion occidentale sur la religion, à partir du christianisme ancien en quête de son autodéfinition jusqu'aux précurseurs modernes de l'histoire des religions. Il nous entraîne au coeur de la fabrique d'une culture occidentale, au croisement du monde gréco-romain, du christianisme ancien et du judaïsme rabbinique. En suivant les réflexions des Pères de l'Eglise sur les origines de l'humanité, Guy G Stroumsa nous permet de mieux saisir les cadres conceptuels qui vont déterminer, pour toute une tradition intellectuelle, la nature même de l'altérité religieuse. Surtout, il offre un nouveau regard sur l'histoire connectée du christianisme, du judaïsme et de l'islam, trois religions dont l'identité se construit, entre dialogue et conflit, autour de ou avec la figure d'Abraham. Enfin, ce livre défend avec force la place et le rôle que doit avoir l'histoire des religions dans les débats actuels sur la diversité et la tolérance, débats essentiels s'il en est dans ce monde qui paraît chaque jour plus enclin à la violence religieuse.

The religious revolution of late antiquity and its intertwined religious history are reflected in a broad array of new forms of religious belief and practice, of which Christianity is only the most perceptible one. It is represented in the passage from polytheistic systems to monotheistic and dualist ones, as well as in the move from rituals centred upon sacrifices in temples to rituals established upon scriptures, in churches, synagogues, or mosques. This double dynamism of beliefs and rituals sheds light on the transformations of religious ethos. Guy G. Stroumsa's two-part volume reflects this double argument. The essays all focus on central aspects, such as in Part I on mental aspects of religion in the Roman Empire, as expressed in early Christian texts and traditions, and in Part II on religious communication across the empire's cultures and communities.
