Lucinda Dirven, Ph.D. (1999) in Theology, University of Leiden, has published on the art and religion of the Near East during the Roman and early Christian periods.
'This interesting and well-organized work is certainly the best
book-length study of any aspect of the culture of Dura-Europos, and
is simultaneously quite close to being the best available treatment
of the religion of Palmyra…Apart from being a highly useful study
of fascinating material, and, via the evidence from Dura, an
important contribution to the religious history of Palmyra itself,
this book offers a model of logic and clarity in approaching the
confusing and contested cultural and religious history of the Near
East, and should be read by all future students of the area.'
Fergus Millar, Journal of Roman Studies, 2001.
‘This is an important sociological study…’
L.L. Grabbe, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament, 2000.
