This book collects the contemporary texts that describe (or at least give clues) about the Mystery Religions of Isis, Demeter, Bacchus, Cybele, Mithras, and others -- and has an intriguing final chapter on how these religions influenced Judaism and Christianity. (You will never read the letters of Paul in the same way...)
A wonderful glimpse into one of the most interesting corners of Greco-Roman religion -- which was not all somber processions, Etruscan divinations, or animal sacrifices. A vividly human look at how religions create grandeur and meaning and an essential companion to any of the many fine scholarly studies of these ancient religions.
