  • Description: Students of the early Church will also welcome new entries on many related themes. [...]the rising interest in the relationship between Christian and pagan healing (see, for example, Hector Avalos, Health care and the rise of Christianity, 1999) is well served by entries on the following subjects: body; gynaecology; hysteria; Reviews REVIEWS 553 midwives; humours; pathology; pharmacology; hypothesis, scientic; purication, Greek; pneuma; pneumatists; and on the following individuals: More generally, there is much that is new on non-Judaeo-Christian religion and philosophy: paganism; oracles (late antiquity); deisidaimonia; superstitio; atomism; death, attitudes to; deus/divus; incense in religion; myrrh; intolerance, intellectual and religious; oriental cults and religions; sanctuaries ; rites of passage; ritual; women in cult; Hermias (3); pollution, the Greek concept of; portents; theodicy; theurgy; suicide; dreams; incubation. [...]partly because of a rich inheritance, and partly because of good investment, OCD 3 (revised) is brimming with material relevant to the study of the early Church. Since the excellent article Christianity stops around the fourth century, there is no obvious reservoir of cross-references to individuals of later times, which is a pity, since entries on them abound, but at present the reader can only discover them if he knows they exist in the rst place.
