"Religion is never simply there. In Religion and the Everyday Life of Manichaeans in Kellis, Mattias Brand shows where and when ordinary individuals and families in Egypt practiced a Manichaean way of life. Rather than portraying this ancient religion as a well-structured, totalizing community, the fourth-century papyri sketch a dynamic image of lived religious practice, with all the contradictions, fuzzy boundaries, and limitations of everyday life. Following these microhistorical insights, this book demonstrates how family life, gift-giving, death rituals, communal gatherings, and book writing are connected to our larger academic debates about religious change in late antiquity"--

"The interest in interdisciplinary research on the experience of religious conversion or spiritual transformation grows progressively. In light of this burgeoning area of study, this volume explores conversion or converting experience in the ancient Mediterranean with attention to early Judaism, early Christianity, and philosophy in the Roman empire. The contributions include both historical and philological reconstructions relying on source material and utilizing interdisciplinary approaches. Similarly, the authors analyze the literary use of the motif of conversion, the topic of philosophical conversion as well as ritual, social and embodied aspects of spiritual transformation"--

For some time interest has been growing in a dialogue between modern scientific research into human cognition and research in the humanities. This ground-breaking volume focuses this dialogue on the religious experience of men and women in the ancient Greek and Roman worlds. Each chapter examines a particular historical problem arising from an ancient religious activity and the contributions range across a wide variety of both ancient contexts and sources, exploring and integrating literary, epigraphic, visual and archaeological evidence. In order to avoid a simple polarity between physical aspects (ritual) and mental aspects (belief) of religion, the contributors draw on theories of cognition as embodied, emergent, enactive and extended, accepting the complexity, multimodality and multicausality of human life. Through this interdisciplinary approach, the chapters open up new questions around and develop new insights into the physical, emotional, and cognitive aspects of ancient religions.

Autour de Marguerite de Valois, reine de Navarre et sœur de François Ier, s'est tissé un réseau constitué d'hommes de lettres et de partisans de l'évangélisme que la reine a su protéger dans un contexte tendu de persécutions religieuses. Ce réseau lui a notamment permis de relayer son action évangélique dans différentes villes du royaume mais également au-delà de ses frontières, dans d'autres pays d'Europe. Correspondances, échanges poétiques, hommages littéraires mais aussi livres de comptes témoignent de ce réseau et permettent de mettre en évidence le rôle de protection et de mécénat joué par la reine dans la période qui suit la dissolution du cercle de Meaux. Ce réseau se définit notamment par le partage de convictions religieuses, par des influences littéraires communes, par des solidarités comme des rivalités, des alliances et des relations diplomatiques avec l'extérieur et enfin par certains liens affectifs et spirituels avec la famille royale. Ce volume qui résulte d'un colloque tenu en 2018 au Centre d'Études Supérieures de la Renaissance de Tours révèle les nombreux liens qui unissent les membres du réseau de Marguerite de Navarre. Humanistes, poètes ou libertins spirituels, l'itinéraire d'un grand nombre d'entre eux est ici retracé, révélant toute la richesse mais aussi la grande complexité de ce réseau.
