The 'Mithras Liturgy'

The 'Mithras Liturgy'

Hans Dieter Betz
5/5 ( ratings)
Just hundred years after the first edition of Albrecht Dietrich's Eine Mithrasliturgie , the present book offers a complete new edition of so complex a text. It provides the Greek text, an English translation, a punctual introduction, an extensive commentary, an index of Greek words and of the various voces magicae, and, finally, also an appendix, with photographic reproductions of the papyrus. ... Not only Hans Dieter Betz is one of the most gifted scholars in the domain of primeval Christianity and Hellenistic religions, but he already devoted to the Mithras Liturgy a monographic essay, which is here enriched and largely supplemented. We particularly appreciated how Betz deals with the critical debate which spread from Dietrich's book and how he sets Dietich in the historical and cultural milieu of his age.Chiara O.
