About This Item
Yale University Press, 2017. 1st printing Crisp and unmarked, F/VG. viii, 227pp. Jacket has a bit of light bubbling to surface along upper front flap fold. Very nice in a new mylar cover. The exchange of gifts is a fundamental part of society and a foundational element in Greco-Roman religions. Combining theories of gift exchange, both modern and Greco-Roman, Thomas Blanton reveals how religious discoursein the guise of spiritual gifts believed to come from Israels godis instrumental in the formation of sociopolitical hierarchies and the assignment of honor and prestige. Blanton uses an interdisciplinary approach that incorporates religion, classics, sociology, and anthropology to investigate the economy of gift exchange shown in Pauls letters.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Very Good. 8vo - 8" - 9" Tall.
