Reviews

This much-needed book should go a long way both toward the exploration of the various understandings of the concept of the archaic throughout history, and towards eliciting attention to its significance and relevance for our time. It is a fascinating, outstandingly written collection of individual essays, published under the flawless editorship of Paul Bishop... With fine thinking and writing, polished editing and extensive notes, this is indeed an impressive and useful book... The book is not only a journey through the history of an idea but one of self-discovery too. - Teodora Velletri, University of Essex, UK in Religion
