Coping With The Gods Wayward Readings In Greek Theology H S Versnel by H. S. Versnel 9789004204904, 9004204903 instant download after payment.

Inspired by a critical
reconsideration of current monolithic approaches to the study of Greek
religion, this book argues that ancient Greeks displayed a disquieting
capacity to validate two (or more) dissonant, if not contradictory,
representations of the divine world in a complementary rather than
mutually exclusive manner. From this perspective the six chapters
explore problems inherent in: order vs. variety/chaos in polytheism,
arbitrariness vs. justice in theodicy, the peaceful co-existence of
mono- and polytheistic theologies, human traits in divine imagery,
divine omnipotence vs. limitation of power, and ruler cult. Based on an
intimate knowledge of ancient realia and literary testimonia the book
stands out for its extensive application of relevant perceptions drawn
from cultural anthropology, theology, cognitive science, psychology, and
linguistics
