Ancient Mystery Cults (Carl Newell Jackson Lectures) Review: An invaluable addition to the library of anyone studying Ancient Greeks and/or mystery cults. - While not as excellent as 'Homo Necans' (though few books are). An invaluable addition to the library of anyone studying Ancient Greeks and/or mystery cults. Well written, easy to read. Review: Thoughtful and intriguing overview of mystery cults - Walter Burkert is a reputable scholar and provides a great deal of information regarding early mystery cults. I found the information useful even when I disagreed with him about his conclusions; specifically he aims to lead readers away from the conclusion that Christianity had too much in common, or was based upon, early mystery cult traditions - although based on the text this would be an easy assumption to make. The main difference it seems is that Burkert treats these cults as dead religions with a certain amount of condescension, while not concealing his higher evaluation of Christianity. He claims that "there is no evidence" for the resurrection of Attis or Osiris (as opposed to the presumed evidence that Jesus actually rose from the dead) and that Persephone's followers are not resurrected (as opposed to Christians, who will be). Read the book yourselves, but focus on the information provided rather than the beliefs of the author. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #442,623 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #533 in Archaeology (Books) #591 in Comparative Religion (Books) #2,127 in Ancient Civilizations | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 46 Reviews | ## Images ![Ancient Mystery Cults (Carl Newell Jackson Lectures) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61BH0vAq6tL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An invaluable addition to the library of anyone studying Ancient Greeks and/or mystery cults. *by J***M on September 7, 2018* While not as excellent as 'Homo Necans' (though few books are).

He obviously knows his subject and has an opinion on it. I would have given it a five stars but I found it sometimes difficult to follow all of his ideas. Anyone new to the subject might have a difficult time with this book. Question: why are so many of the books on ancient religions so over priced? ## Frequently Bought Together - Ancient Mystery Cults (Carl Newell Jackson Lectures) - The Ancient Mysteries: A Sourcebook of Sacred Texts - Mystery Cults in the Ancient World --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/30068642-ancient-mystery-cults-carl-newell-jackson-lectures](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/30068642-ancient-mystery-cults-carl-newell-jackson-lectures) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-10-13*
