Exploring the transition from polytheism to monotheism and dualism, this volume delves into the evolution of religious practices during late antiquity. It highlights the shift from temple sacrifices to scripture-based rituals in churches, synagogues, and mosques, illustrating the transformation of religious ethos. The first part examines mental aspects of religion in the Roman Empire through early Christian texts, while the second part addresses religious communication across diverse cultures and communities within the empire.
