Publisher's Synopsis
The Morality of Mithraism is a book written by Salomon Reinach that explores the religious and moral beliefs of the ancient Roman religion known as Mithraism. The author delves into the history and practices of the religion, which was centered around the worship of the god Mithras, and examines its moral code and its impact on Roman society. Reinach argues that Mithraism had a significant influence on the development of Roman morality, particularly in regards to concepts such as honor, loyalty, and self-control. The book also explores the relationship between Mithraism and other religions of the time, such as Christianity and Judaism, and considers the possible reasons for the decline of Mithraism in the Roman Empire. Overall, The Morality of Mithraism provides a comprehensive and insightful look into one of the lesser-known religions of ancient Rome and its impact on society and morality.THIS 24 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Cults, Myths and Religions, by Salomon Reinach.
