An Ancient Theory of Religion examines a theory of religion put forward by Euhemerus of Messene (late 4th - early 3rd century BCE) in his lost work Sacred Inscription, and shows not only how and why euhemerism came about but also how it was - and still is - used.

"Nickolas Roubekas is to be congratulated for producing an eminently readable and carefully researched account of Euhemerus' theory and its variegated transformations throughout the centuries, highlighting biases, intentional or unintentional omissions, modifications and manipulations of the Messenian's work. The fruits of his integrated approach, effortlessly communicating between classical scholarship and religious studies, are heartily recommended to the students and scholars of these disciplines." - Juraj Franek, Journal of Cognitive Historiography
"Nickolas Roubekas rediscovers the long shadow cast by Euhemerus of Messene over the history of conceptualizing the divine from Hellenistic times to the present. While building on classical studies on Euhemerus and his reception, Roubekas presents scholarship on religion with a timely appropriation of Euhemerus and the discourse he elicited on the origins of gods and the divine for the contemporary study of religion. This study of Euhemerus provides the necessary groundworkfor retrieving the discursive processes of manufacturing divinity that lie at the foundation of the history of European Christianity." - Professor Gerhard van den Heever, University of South Africa
"This book provides an important contribution to the understanding of Euhemerism ... Nickolas Roubekas provides a rigorous study both of Euhemerism in its original sense, and the cultural history of its reception, for an audience of both Classicists and students of religion ... 'Whose Euhemerism?' is the right question to pose, as the conclusion states (p. 182). Apart from contributing several different insights to particular issues that will appeal to classicists and students of religion, and achieving a most helpful overall presentation of the Euhemeristic tradition, this book is important above all because it will force every future user of the term, of whichever discipline, to pose that question and weigh carefully how to answer it." - Miguel Herrero de Jáuregui, Acta Classica
"Roubekas' project is stimulating. I hope more scholars follow his example and place ancient thinkers into dialogue with modern theorists of religion." - Nathan J. Ristuccia, Religion & Theology
"Roubekas tries to draw a distinction not only between Euhemerus and later manifestations of his thought, but also between Euhemerus and older or contemporary writers who are assumed to have influenced him, namely Xenophanes of Colophon, Democritus, Prodicus of Ceos, and Critias. This effort results in a solid and detailed analysis of both Euhemerus and his supposed sources." - Benjamin Garstad, MacEwan University, Edmonton, Canada
