Document Details : Title: Were there Religious Associations in Antiquity? Author(s): KLOPPENBORG, John S. Journal: Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses Volume: 100 Issue: 3-4 Date: 2024 Pages: 435-462 DOI: 10.2143/ETL.100.3.3293821 Abstract : Despite recent challenges to the category of 'religious' or 'cultic' associations, the categorization of private associations as 'occupational', 'cultic', 'neighbourhood', 'diasporic' and 'domestic' remain useful heuristic categories whose utility can be defended by examining the particular ways that sociality in associations was materialized, whether through cultic, convivial, or other means. |
