This volume originates from a conference at Princeton University, gathering prominent scholars in ancient religions. Claims of divine revelation are not merely common themes in ancient texts; they significantly shape the structure of these texts and the communities that create them. The authors explore the literary and social roles of revelation in late antiquity, covering early Christianity, rabbinic Judaism, and early Islam. Their contributions enhance our understanding of revelation and illuminate the significant transformations, interactions, and tensions characteristic of this era.
