What can man know about God? This question became one of the main problems during the 4th-century Trinitarian controversy, which is the focus of this book. Especially during the second phase of the conflict, the claims of Anomean Eunomius caused an emphatic response of Orthodox writers, mainly Basil of Caesarea and Gregory of Nyssa. Eunomius formulated two ways of theology to show that we can know both the substance (ousia) and activities (energeiai) of God. The Orthodox Fathers demonstrated tha...

Modern Greek Folklore and Ancient Greek Religion (Cambridge Library Collection - Classics)

Connecting the Isiac Cults (Scientific Studies of Religion: Inquiry and Explanation)
by Tomas Glomb
Why did Egyptian cults, especially those dedicated to the goddess Isis and god Sarapis, spread so successfully across the ancient Mediterranean after the death of Alexander the Great?

In this book, Glomb shows that while the interplay of different factors such as the economy, climate and politics created favorable conditions for the ear...
Round Trip to Hades in the Eastern Mediterranean Tradition (Cultural Interactions in the Mediterranean, #2)
Round Trip to Hades in the Eastern Mediterranean Tradition explores how the theme of visiting the Underworld and returning alive has been treated, transmitted and transformed in the ancient Greek and Byzantine traditions.

The Five Great Monarchies Of The Ancient Eastern World V1
by George Rawlinson
Flavius Claudius Julianus was the last pagan to sit on the Roman imperial throne (361-363).

Having become an orphan when he was still very young, Julian was taken care of by his cousin Constantius II, one...
