Isis in a Global Empire by Lindsey A Mazurek
This book offers academic readers a glimpse into the ways that religion, ethnicity, and globalization intersected in Rome's provinces. By focusing on the worship of Egyptian gods in Greece, it explores how process of appropriation and experiences of geographic space and historical time defined a religious minority in Roman-ruled Greece.
'The book is handsomely producedThe images, layout, type of paper, and general presentation are of high quality. Mazurek writes beautifully and clearly … She analyzes the evidence judiciously and her engagement with the vast bibliography of Isis is thorough, without bogging the reader down with unnecessary detail. Most importantly, this book provides a powerful case for the value of its methodology.' Vassiliki, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
'There is a lot to like in this very nicely put-together publication. Mazurek, an assistant professor of classical studies at Indiana University Bloomington, offers a fresh and appealing discussion on how the Egyptian deities - primarily, but not exclusively, Isis - played an important role in forging a new, globalized Greek identity within the Roman Empire.' Nickolas P. Roubekas, Religious Studies Review
