Belief and Cult argues that belief isn’t uniquely Christian but was central to ancient Roman religion. Drawing on cognitive theory, Jacob Mackey shows that despite having nothing to do with salvation or faith, belief underlay every aspect of Roman religious practices—emotions, individual and collective cult action, ritual norms, social reality, and social power. In doing so, he also offers a thorough argument for the importance of belief to other non-Christian religions.
At the individual level, the book argues, belief played an indispensable role in the genesis of cult action and religious emotion. However, belief also had a collective dimension. The cognitive theory of Shared Intentionality shows how beliefs may be shared among individuals, accounting for the existence of written, unwritten, or even unspoken ritual norms. Shared beliefs permitted the choreography of collective cult action and gave cult acts their social meanings. The book also elucidates the role of shared belief in creating and maintaining Roman social reality. Shared belief allowed the Romans to endow agents, actions, and artifacts with socio-religious status and power. In a deep sense, no man could count as an augur and no act of animal slaughter as a successful offering to the gods, unless Romans collectively shared appropriate beliefs about these things.

lord help us, theorical/academic material requires a warning.
May 22nd, 2023
lmao. warning might not have been the best word for it. Just wanted to convey that this book looks to be more of a grad level.
May 22nd, 2023
Thank you! And I love the PDFs!
May 22nd, 2023
Thank you! Yes, love the PDFs. (and Grad Level!)

Of course people believed things before Christianity. Why would we need an entire book for that?

Why do we need historical scholarship, knowledge, investigation, understanding & wisdom? That’s a tough 1…
I suppose we need more celebrity news, reality tv, wrestling, mindless materialism & trash culture instead. It does seem as though people vote with their “feet” on these issues.

Wilted caesar salad is, of course, an authority on all subjects. Tash is his forte and he leads by example.
