About This Book
neoplatonismphilosophytheologytheurgyhistory
Ancient civilizations did not build temples as mere shelters for statues; they built them as venues for face to face conversation with the gods. This text investigates historical accounts of divine visitations in cities like Tyre and Engyion. It tracks the shift from physical pagan manifestations to the Christian expectation of a final appearance in the clouds.
