From the Publisher
"Popular religion is at the center of this excellent study. Frankfurter places Christianity in a multifaceted, often unexpected context in the countryside of Egypt. He shows that despite the state's new religion, Egyptian gods, goddesses, and cultic practices persisted. The result is a thoroughly stimulating book—-an unusual mix of erudition and interpretation—and one which I read with great pleasure."—Dorothy J.
