Ritual in the Ancient Mediterranean

Scholarly interest in the ritual life of the ancient Near East, Greco-Roman societies, and both ancient Christianity and Judaism has increased considerably in the last decade, no doubt a reflection of the rising interest in ritual across many fields in the social sciences and humanities—and in western societies generally. This series supports scholarship that utilizes up-to-date ritual theory, and does so critically, to produce innovative studies that challenge conventional views and offer alternative viewpoints on the ancient Mediterranean world.
