| Meer info | 'In this succinct work, Richard Finn aims to compare and contrast the various ascetic beliefs and practices in the Greco-Roman world andarrive at an agreeable definition of the term ?ascetic?. Asceticism, as hedefines it, is the voluntary abstention - for religious reasons - from food and drink, sleep, wealth or sexual activity. Such a comparative discussion is lacking in scholarship, and Finn takes on the task by carefully reporting several systems of practice and belief, exhibiting both his theological and classical expertise. (...) Finn does a remarkable job of explaining the various concepts with brevity by engaging in a comparative study that has not previously been done. In addition to the text, Finn provides an extensive bibliography that lends itself to further work in the area of ascetism.' (ADAM Z. WRIGHT in Journal of Greco-Roman Christianity and Judaism 8, 2011/12, pp.86-91). |
