The articles question the artificial disciplinary and conceptual boundaries between traditions. Instead, they stress their shared nature. The collection is a result of discussions at the international symposium “Ideas and Identities in Late Antiquity: Jews, Christians, and Muslims” at the Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies on March 12-13, 2018.

Religious Violence in the Ancient World: From Classical Athens to Late Antiquity [Hardcover] Dijkstra, Jitse H. And Raschle, Christian R. Much like our world today, Late Antiquity (fourth-seventh centuries CE) is often seen as a period rife with religious violence, not least because the literary sources are full of stories of Christians attacking temples, statues and’pagans’. However, using insights from Religious Studies, recent studies have demonstrated that the Late Antique sources disguise a much more intricate reality. The present volume builds on this recent cutting-edge scholarship on religious violence in Late Antiquity in order to come to more nuanced judgments about the nature of the violence. At the same time, the focus on Late Antiquity has taken away from the fact that the phenomenon was no less prevalent in the earlier Graeco-Roman world. This book is therefore the first to bring together scholars with expertise ranging from classical Athens to Late Antiquity to examine the phenomenon in all its complexity and diversity throughout Antiquity.

> Piece measures 14.5 inches tall, including the 2.25 inch base. > Piece is made of carved wood that was covered with plaster, smoothed and sculpted, and then painted. > Priest is wearing an ornately decorated red, blue and gold habit with crosses at the front and back, and a tall priest’s hat with a cross on the front. > Priest is holding a bible in his left hand and his right hand is raised. > Figure is positioned on a multilevel square base. > Weight is 20.2 ounces. 1600s, and from Peru. CONDITION: Colors are still evident, but have faded. The bottom of the figure detached from the top of the base at some point, and there are signs of old glue in that area. The figure stands fine upon the base without being re-glued, and we will not attempt to make any repair. The tip of the priest’s shoe, which is included, came loose at some point, and we re-positioned that with a small amount of gentle adhesive, just enough to hold it in place. The left hand in the wrist area has a chip about 1/2 inch long. For some reason, the priest’s hands are reddish brown, in a tone much darker than the pale flesh tone of his face. The base has some chipped areas. The item “Peruvian S. Am. Antiquity Religious Wood Carving PRIEST w BIBLE on Wood Base 17″ is in sale since Monday, January 25, 2021.
