For many, such a no-man’s-land does not exist, since the two disciplines simply complement one another. For me too the monuments are the indispensable starting-point of any enquiry. But whereas others are most interested in using archaeological monuments singly or in series as illustrations or commentaries on beliefs or practices known from texts, taking the existence of both monument and cult for granted, as a lapsed Scottish Presbyterian with a particular fondness for Roman Catholic religious art I have always had more of an eye for the place of religious art in the construction of the religious enterprise than for the Realien of religious belief. This focus upon the how of religious belief rather than its matter owes something to David Martin, whose seminar at the London School of Economics I attended occasionally in 1966-67. At that time there was a vogue for a primitive version of constructionism, and I vividly remember the high hopes I had on opening a book on The Social Construction of Reality by Peter Berger and Thomas Luckmann, and how swiftly they were dashed. But if ‘reality’ itself could not possibly be socially constructed as they claimed, it seemed to me no less certainly the case that religion was, if not ‘socially’ constructed (whatever that might mean), at least an enterprise of the human imagination, one of whose major features was the objectivity - reality in that sense - it claimed for itself. It is not that I am indifferent to the possible emotional meanings of religion but that these seem to me purely superficial matters as far as the historian of religion is concerned - so obvious that they do not require discussion. Above all, they do not exhaust the possible implications of the notion ‘religious meaning’. ISBN 9780860786085 Versand D: 5,50 EUR, Angelegt am: 30.06.2021.

This collection of 9 essays, dating mostly from 1972-1980, examines the way in which images contributed to the creation of religious meanings in the Graeco-Roman world. Special attention is paid to Mithraism's notion of the sacred space, its use of metaphors taken from the natural world, and its ideals of social action. Essays include a new Mithraic relief from Rome; the moment of death - art and the ritual of Greek sacrifice; and Mithraism and Roman society.
