Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'Kindt's book helps to prevent rigidities in the study of ancient religious material and to rehabilitate concepts like 'belief' or 'theology' that, once exempt from Christianising connotations, are useful to understand Greek religion. So its reading will doubtless be helpful for researchers [in] the field.' Miguel Herrero de Jáuregui, Sehepunkte
