Conceptions Of God In Ancient Egypt: The One And The Many

An excellent historical overview of the gods... It is a recommended necessary reading for those studying Ancient Egyptian religion.?Frankie's Reviews in Egyptology

A work of extraordinary distinction, Hornung’s book will appeal to anyone interested in ancient Egypt, in ancient religion, and in the history of religion, as well as students and scholars of ancient history, anthropology, and archaeology.

Osiris, Horus, Isis, Thoth, Anubis - the many strange and compelling figures of the Egyptian gods and goddesses seem to possess endless fascination. The renowned Egyptologist Erik Hornung here studies the ancient Egyptians' conceptions of god, basing his account on a thorough reappraisal of the primary sources. His book, now available in English for the first time, is the most extensive exploration yet undertaken of the nature of Egyptian religion.

Hornung examines the characteristics, spheres of action, and significance of Egyptian gods and goddesses, analyzing the complex and changing iconography used to represent them, and disentangling the many seemingly contradictory aspects of the religion of which they are a part. He seeks to answer two basic questions: How did the Egyptians themselves see their gods? Did they believe there was an impersonal, anonymous force behind the multiplicity of their deities? Throughout, he attempts to evoke the complexity and richness of the religion of the ancient Egyptians and of their worldview, which differs so greatly from our own.

Sensitively translated by John Baines and with a new preface by the author, this edition has been amplified and updated with an English-language audience in mind.

'

After surveying the approaches to Egyptian religion from antiquity through twentieth-century scholarship, Hornung... considers aspects of divinity, the iconography and characteristics of the gods, and the relationship between gods and believers.... A masterly, scrupulously documented work that combines close attention to textual and artifactual evidence with penetrating theological insights.

Hornung asks usually neglected questions concerning what the Egyptians themselves thought about their gods, thus meeting these people on their own terms. Along the way he carefully examines evidence that has been marshaled in favor of monotheism or monotheistic tendencies within what appears to be a vast Egyptian pantheon. Adding to the pleasure and usefulness of this work is the fine translation by John Baines.... Containing a full index, a glossary of gods, and appropriate illustrations, this is a significant volume.

'

It is not often that an introduction to the thorny topic of ancient Egyptian religion can be recommended unreservedly.... Over the past thirty-five years the acceptable introductions to Egyptian religion can be counted on the fingers of one hand, and all are from the pens of scholars trained in a Germanic tradition! The present work by Erik Hornung maintains this excellent, though rare, standard.

How to understand the regions of captivity you may find yourself in and be free in Jesus name.
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I enjoyed the reading of Regions of Captivity by Dr. Ana Mendez Ferrell, recommended by my Pastor at SGLM. This book is so important in our understanding of the different levels of regions captivity, we can find ourselves in and not realize that we are in bondage as a Christian or as a non-Christian. All we know that things are not working out, you are feeling a certain way, and you keep seeing a repeat of things happening in your life and in your family life as well, that's because your soul is in captivity in one of the regions that's revealed in this book. I highly recommend this book so you will know how to fight and release your soul and your bloodline out of these regions of captivity. And I thank God for showing us how the enemy is fighting against us in the spiritual realm and how we can be set free, because whom the LORD sets free is free indeed. Amen

I definitely plan on reading this book again-it is necessary to read it a few times to better understand some things
It was a very unique book. IT opens a whole new dimension to spiritual warfare-it's incredible but a little advanced for me. I'm no stranger to demonic warfare as I have cleared a few houses of this phenomina and my own from time to time. Surely this is the most advanced book I have run across. It also deals with healing and getting into the spirit to stand before and talk directly to God and Jesus. I have a friend that also visits the holy one's and Anna's experiences are very similir so I believe her wholeheartedly. She then exposes how the Demons take controll of whole cities-I read this also in John Ramirez's books(he was an ex-satan worshiper) so I think she is spot on. Also of interest is the multi-generational curses that hold families hostage-she gets into that too. I disagree strongly with her view on astral projection-it is not always demonic in nature. I have done it for many years and I am not satanic at all-but a strong believer in God. Also I disagree with her views about hospitals. I definitely plan on reading this book again-it is necessary to read it a few times to better understand some things. If someone is interested in opening themselves up to seeing and hearing in the spirit world this is one of the books to read.
