DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis SBL Press edition of an essential Brill reference work deals with the religious practices of the family in the ancient Babylonian, Syrian, and Israelite civilizations. On the basis of a wealth of documents from both the private and the literary realm, the book gives an exhaustive description and analysis of the rites of the ancestor cult and the devotion to local gods. The author demonstrates the role of these two aspects of family religion in the identity construction of its followers. The section dealing with Israel pays particular attention to the relationship between family religion and state religion. The emergence of the state religion under King Saul marked the beginning of a competition between civil and private religion. Though the two had great influence upon each other, the tension between them was never resolved. A study of their interaction proves to be a key for the understanding of the development of Israelite religion during the monarchic period.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMost believe that sin first arose with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. If this was the first instance, Christianity was not around for another two thousand years or more to include it in its belief structure. The first page of this book clarifies that sin, in its original form, was anything done to anger the gods (rather than God). The word for God in the Old Testament is elohim a plural word. Facts like this make this book a vital source for early theological truths. Offers an outstanding rundown on the early gods, who they were and what they stood for. Contains surprising information on our origins, the source of evil, the gods themselves, and humankinds interactions with them.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Fascinating Power of the First Religion in the World... Most of us are accustomed to an idea of religion in which God interacts with humans and creates rules for humans to live by, according to the believers. But what if there were a religion in which responsive deities interacted with every aspect of the universe, creating a balanced system of morality and justice? This is what you will learn about in The Sumerian-Akadian-Babylon and Assyrian Religion and Its Analysis. This in-depth study reveals 4000 years of a religion created by the people and accepted by their society. It will also show you how the conflict between religious doctrine and objective reality eroded the power of this religion's basic myths, and caused this influential faith to falter. This wonderful introduction to a unique culture and religion will be an eye-opening and engaging experience for all readers.
