This work is the only one currently available on Mithra, a god who was the object of one of the most important influential "mystery cults" of the Greco-Roman world. Said to have originated in India, Mithra is a sun god associated with personal salvation. His worship, reserved only for men (soldiers or merchants for the most part, and thus travelers) was subject to a strict hierarchy based upon the seven degrees of initiation.This book offers a fascinating synthesis of findings related to research conducted over the last thirty years. It is an indispensable resource for the understanding of ancient religious thought, and will particularly enlighten readers about the early days of Christianity (the date for the celebration of Mithra was December 25thæthe origin of the Christmas date).
