Using papyri as a window into the lives of ordinary believers, it explores their religious behavior and choices in everyday life. Three valuable perspectives are outlined and explored in these documents: a critical reflection on the concept of identity and the role of religious groups, a situational reading of religious repertoire and symbols, and a focus on speech acts as performative and efficacious utterances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReligious Identifications in Late Antique Papyri\u003c\/em\u003e offers a wide scope and comparative approach to this topic, suitable for students and scholars of late antiquity and Egypt, as well as those interested in late antique religion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA PDF version of this book is available for free in Open Access at www.taylorfrancis.com.
