This is an interesting book concerning the phenomena of leaving a group, i.e. defecting, in ancient Judaism, Christianity, and Graeco-Roman philosophical groups. Positive: serve as a pseudo-source book noting ancient literary texts, as well as some epigraphical, which discuss people who have moved away from a tradition. Negatives: Final chapter focuses on sociological models to help understand this phenomena better placed at beginning of book. It is disjointed from the rest of the book since the models were not integrated well into the book. Also, discussion of Paul questionable. Treatment of Qumran sparse.

Movement from one community to another can create strife, pain, and social dislocation. In this astute analysis, Stephen Wilson examines the ancient sources for clues to how leaving a religious group happened, what motivated defectors, and the different ways Jews, Christians, and pagans interpreted the event. As Wilson explains, "by and large defection was a rancorous business and provoked extreme reactions, understandably so in the case of those who became traitors or who turned violently on their former community. But even the less dramatic instances were deeply troubling." Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
