The Ancient Gods Speak: A Guide to Egyptian Religion
Derived from the Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt, Donald Redford's The Ancient Gods Speak: A Guide to Egyptian Religion offers more than 90 articles explaining various features of ancient Egyptian beliefs, including ideas about death and the afterlife, the role of cultic animals and the pantheon of deities. The tone can be dry at times, and one wishes for more illustrations, but serious readers will learn a great deal about this ancient religion.Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc.
