Editorial Reviews
Religious Studies Review, January, 1991
"Thrilling.... Bravo for Ulansey."
Review
"Ulansey's style is highly readable and I would unhestatingly recommend it as reading for students who want to learn about this fascinating religion. Ulansey has demystified the mysteries marvelously and with admirable lucidity."--Nicholas D. Humez, Montclair State University
"An excellent, well-researched, comprehensive analysis of the origins of a tradition popular throughout Europe and the Near East for hundreds of years."--Antonia Tripolitis, Rutgers Univ.
"The illustrations and diagrams play a useful part in this clear and lively exposition concerning the origin of a major reigion which for a time rivalled Christianity."--Shadow
"...sets a new standard for both scholarly and popular works on Mithras."--Timothy O'Neill, Gnosis Magazine
"A very interesting interpretation of the symbolism of the Mithras-religion."--Journal for the History of Astronomy
"Lucid....A surprisingly convincing and readable book, and I heartily recommend it to the educated general reader."--Biblical Archaeologist
"[A] thrilling book....Bravo for Ulansey."--Religious Studies Review
"Why are the Mysteries of Mithra such a mystery to us?...The astronomical explanation...has been revived in our time under different forms, but never as convincingly, with such an impressive array of arguments--iconographic, geographic, mythological, numismatic, and literary--as those offered by Dr. David Ulansey."--Jacques Duchesne-Guillemin, Institut de France
"Ulansey's extremely interesting book throws a completely new light on the origin of the Mithras religion."--B.L. van der Waerden, University of Zurich
"Ulansey has put the development of western Mithraism in an utterly new perspective."--Martin Schwartz, University of California, Berkeley
