Introducing the reader to the gods and their worshippers and to the ways in which they were related, this book focuses on the ever-present link between the human and the divine in Ancient Egypt. The book also examines the impact of Egyptian religion
"A fascinating book. . . . Siegfried Morenz discusses the concept of religion among the Egyptians, religion as the center of their civilization, the relationship between their gods and humans, the complex structure of their cosmological systems and their concept of time, of death, and the afterlife, and finally the interplay of Egypt with Syria, Ethiopia, and the Greek world in the field of religion."—Classical Bulletin
