This first volume of the new Brill series "Ancient Philosophy & Religion" is a collection of articles by scholars of Classics, Ancient Philosophy, and Ancient Judaism and Early Christianity. The articles are based on papers presented at two colloquia on the interface between Ancient Philosophy and Religion at the universities of Aarhus and Cambridge. They focus extensively on Platonic philosophy and piety and sketch an emerging religio-philosophical discourse in ancient Judaism (both in the Sibylline Oracles and 4 Maccabees). Furthermore, this volume studies Seneca's religio-philosophical understanding of 'consolation', compares early depictions of Jesus with those of ancient philosophers, and, finally, reconsiders responses of pagan philosophers to Christianity from the second century to Late Antiquity.

Anders Klostergaard Petersen (Gold medal Dissertation Aarhus, 1994) is Professor of the Study of Religion at Aarhus University. He has published extensively on early Christ-religion, late Second Temple Judaism, method and theory in the humanities and social sciences, and biocultural evolution.

George van Kooten (PhD Leiden, 2001) is Professor of New Testament & Early Christianity at the University of Groningen and a life member of Clare Hall, Cambridge. He has published widely on the Graeco-Roman setting of the New Testament, including monographs on Paul's cosmology (Mohr, 2003) and anthropology (Mohr, 2008).
