The Gods of Reason: An Authentic Theology for Modern Hellenismos

by Timothy Jay Alexander

Modern Hellenismos is a religious movement that reconstructs the ancient Greek religion in a modern context. The practice uses a method that adapts the old with the new, using the best available archaeological evidence with intellectual honesty. Those attracted to the ancient Greek religion want to know what Hellenists believe. What does Hellenismos say about sin and salvation, creation and the afterlife? Theology is, simply put, a system, school, or body of educated opinions concerning the Divine and religious questions, and provides for a reasoned discourse that creates an understanding of a religion, its spiritual practices, and the Gods. Within this introduction to Hellenic theology, written by the foremost author on modern Hellenismos, you will find a modern theology sourced and adapted from the history, culture, traditions, thought, and ethics of ancient Greece.
