Cultures in the Roman Mediterranean world, including Christianity, conceptualized their most valuable and potent ceremonial elements not only through the occasionally learned abstraction or larger social categories but by imagining their perversion by others: sometimes witches or savages; sometimes intimate, conspiratorial enemies; and sometimes evil heathens and debauched heretics. These concerns with dangerous alterity cluster around areas of culture and practice that can be generalized as religion and that point to a tentative, discursive concept of religion.

The tantalizing thing is not what it seemed. Who can bear “the heartache and the thousand natural shocks / that flesh is heir to” without wishing, if not for the permanent “sleep” Hamlet speaks of, then at least for its waking equivalent? Yet Shakespeare endures, for who can bear to live without also knowing the worst? Let it be democracy, modernity, law, America; let it be love, even, or truth. The lure is a practical question: How can you be sure of the soundness of the thing, so many feints and false bottoms? “There is no word in human language,” Kierkegaard writes, “not one single one, not the most sacred one, about which we are able to say: If a person uses this word, it is unconditionally demonstrated that there is love in that person.” Alas, “it is true that one and the same word can convince us that love abides in the
