The Roman city of Palmyra had an outward appearance that was conventionally hellenised, but many aspects of social and religious life were influenced by a number of different cultures and both Greek and local Aramaic languages coexisted. This study which is a revised version of Kaizer's doctoral thesis, studies the religious life and ritual activities of Palmyra under the Romans. Discussing epigraphic, sculptural and architectural evidence from temples, he reveals that, apart from the Imperial cult, direct Roman influence on religious life is largely absent.

The oasis city of Palmyra in the Syrian Desert has long been the focus of scholarly attention, both as a major cultural locus at the heart of the ancient world, active in trade and politics, and as an important local centre of religion, attested through the archaeology and historical sources related to the site. In this volume, which is the outcome of a conference organized within the framework of the Palmyra Portrait Project, the latest research from scholars working on Palmyra is drawn together to offer new insights into both the city's religious life and its wider implications for our understanding of religious life in the Near East in general in the first three centuries CE. Incorporating analyses and discussions of archaeological, epigraphic, and literary sources that shed light on Palmyrene religion, the contributions gathered here reassess and discuss the beliefs and practices that were followed in the city, assess the different cults that existed, and present new insights into the development and function of the city's religious communities and spaces. Together, these chapters provide a vital update to our understanding of how people lived and worshipped in this city, which remains crucial to the broader understanding of the role of religion and religious practices in urban contexts in antiquity.

This volume deals with the religion of Palmyrenes in Dura-Europos during the first three centuries of the Common Era, and focuses upon the religious interaction between this migrant community and their new residence. By studying the religious interaction of distinct groups on a local level, this study aims to contribute to a better understanding of the process of religious development and change in Syria during the Roman period. Information on the Palmyrenes of Dura-Europos consists primarily of archaeological remains that have been found there. The Palmyrene materials from Dura-Europos have never been published collectively, and for this reason they are enumerated and re-evaluated in the appendix. The book is richly illustrated with 20 figures and 22 plates.

One of the great tragedies of the twenty-first century has been the rise of religious intolerance and the disrespect of other faiths that has been associated with it. Around the world, bias, bigotry, religious venom, and violence have led to the wanton destruction of sacred shrines across the planet. Nowhere has this intolerance been as virulent as in the Middle East, which is the heart and soul of the three great Western religious traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In lands where millennia of peaceful of coexistence had, for the most part, prevailed, a rabid spiritual darkness of intolerance has fueled the wanton destruction of religious sanctuaries of all three of these children of Abraham. The hatred has not been limited to any one of the traditions. But there have been glimmers of hope, seen in the clandestine efforts of recovery and restitution of our collective past. Archaeologists have followed in the footsteps of military action against these religious fanatics, and in the process, they have recovered bits and pieces of everyones religious heritage. This is a story indicative of these efforts, although it is fiction. It can give hope to the future, when they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore (Isa. 2:4).
