Synopsis

In this volume, friends, colleagues, and former students of Theodore J. Lewis honor and build on his work with contributions that explore aspects of divinity, including deities, sacred time and space, and religious practices and personnel from a range of different ancient Near Eastern cultures and literary traditions. Leading scholars present fresh insights into ancient religions through philological, archaeological, and art-historical methods as well as through the application of theoretical models from the study of religion. When taken together, the essays reveal certain striking parallels and unexamined and distinctive features from each tradition.
