“An excellent reference for students and experts in the field of Egyptology.” http//www.ptahhotep.com/reviews.html

“A readable inroduction to the main themes – creation myths and solar beliefs, priesthood and ritual, Osiris and the theology of kingship, architecture and iconongraphy – set into the context of Egyptian history as it develops over two and a half millennia.” The Expository Times

This book traces the evolution of religious beliefs and practices within the historical and political contexts of the main periods of Egypt's civilization. It shows how historical and political events influenced state cults, temple rituals and funerary practices, and also emphasizes how religion permeated most aspects of everyday life, including law, medicine and education. The book also describes how some religious customs have even survived, in different forms, until the present day.

Contains extensive bibliographies of primary and secondary sources.
