With contributions spanning from the Neolithic Age to the Iron Age, this book offers important insights into the religions and ritual practices in ancient Egyptian and Near Eastern communities through the lenses of their material remains. The book begins with a theoretical introduction to the concept of material religion and features editor introductions to each of its six parts, which tackle the following themes: the human body; religious architecture; the written word; sacred images; the spirituality of animals; and the sacred role of the landscape. Illustrated with over 100 images, chapters provide insight into every element of religion and materiality, from the largest building to the smallest amulet. This is a benchmark work for further studies on material religion in the ancient Near East and Egypt.

Anthropologues et historiens ont souvent souligné combien le régime alimentaire constitue un marqueur fondamental de chaque groupe humain. L'identité culturelle vient se greffer sur le binôme religion-alimentation, en établissant une correspondance entre la manière de s'alimenter et la manière de prier, qui font partie des éléments permettant de caractériser une culture déterminée vis-à-vis des autres. La distinction alimentaire permet de reconnaître l'appartenance d'un individu à un groupe, puisque son identité se construit - entre autres facteurs - sur la base des choix alimentaires et du culte professé aux êtres surnaturels. Ce volume étudie des pratiques comme le jeûne, la pénitence ou l'interdit alimentaire, en les plaçant dans la perspective de la distinction alimentaire. Autrement dit, il analyse comment tous ces phénomènes deviennent des marqueurs identitaires qui permettent de reconnaître une pratique religieuse. Distinguer c'est avant tout opérer une séparation entre les membres d'une communauté et le reste du "monde". L'adoption de normes déterminées contribue à construire une identité religieuse distincte par rapport aux personnes qui ne suivent pas les mêmes règles. Cela dit, les techniques de préparation, le choix des aliments et des ingrédients, tout comme les modes de consommation adoptés représentent un champ d'action privilégié pour observer ce phénomène.

Sacred Thresholds. The Door to the Sanctuary in Late Antiquity offers a far-reaching account of boundaries within pagan and Christian sanctuaries: gateways in a precinct, outer doors of a temple or church, inner doors of a cella . The study of these liminal spaces within Late Antiquity – itself a key period of transition during the spread of Christianity, when cultural paradigms were redefined – demands an approach that is both interdisciplinary and diachronic. Emilie van Opstall brings together both upcoming and noted scholars of Greek and Latin literature and epigraphy, archaeology, art history, philosophy, and religion to discuss the experience of those who crossed from the worldly to the divine, both physically and symbolically. What did this passage from the profane to the sacred mean to them, on a sensory, emotive and intellectual level? Who was excluded, and who was admitted? The articles each offer a unique perspective on pagan and Christian sanctuary doors in the Late Antique Mediterranean.
