Publisher Description:
Panth e presents a collective reflection relating to the changes that affected the Graeco-Roman Empire and over the long term altered its religious landscapes. Fifty years after the foundation of the series EPRO, the volume aims to avoid the division between the supposedly "Roman" or "Graeco-Roman" and the "Oriental" by linking the available information relating the different major areas, such as the relation between local and global, the place of emotions in relation to soteriological and initiatory aspects, strategies of integration and negotiation of identities. For the first time the leading specialists in every field bring their approaches into contact with one another, and jointly construct a picture of practices and conceptual frames, which, in their diversity and inter-action, model a religious universe whose complexity will help to understand our modern globalising world.

Panth e propose une r flexion collective sur les mutations qui ont affect l'Empire gr co-romain et ont progressivement remodel ses paysages religieux. Cinquante ans apr s la cr ation de la collection des EPRO, ce livre ambitionne de d passer le clivage entre ce qui serait "romain", ou "gr co-romain", et ce qui serait "oriental" en articulant les donn es disponibles autour de quelques th mes majeurs, comme les jeux d' chelle entre local et universel, la place du registre des motions en relation avec les dimensions sot riologiques et myst riques, les strat gies d'int gration et de n gociation des identit s. Pour la premi re fois, les meilleurs sp cialistes venus de tous les horizons croisent leurs approches et construisent ensemble un tableau des pratiques et des cadres de pens e qui, dans leur diversit et dans leur interaction, dessinent les contours d'un univers religieux dont la complexit aide penser le monde moderne de la globalisation.
