Reflections on My Studies of the Roman Cults of Mithras for the Historical and Comparative Study of Religions
Abstract
I have spent a number of years focusing my research on the Roman Cults of Mithras. In this autobiographical reflection on that study, I consider the relationship between research on a specific, if perhaps obscure, religious tradition and methodological and theoretical issues in historical and comparative studies of religion generally.
