Ascendant: Modern Essays on Polytheism and Theology by Patrick Dunn, Edward P. Butler

4.0

A decent collection of essays on theological problems in polytheism, mostly from a Hellenic/Greco-Roman perspective. Some essays very intellectually stringent, some very superficial. Nevertheless, actual theological scholarship is sorely needed for any kind of reconstructionist polytheism, so I welcome books like this one. I particularly liked the essays that focus on viewing ancient (Greek) philosophers as polytheist theologians - I think that's where the most fertile ground lies for engaging with ancient polytheisms. More, please!
