Fascinating book explores the underlying concept of the changeless as the basis of Egyptian religion, and how it unifies what scholars had believed to be an unrelated jungle of weird myths, doctrines, and practices generated by local cults. ". . . one of the finest elucidations of these materials that we have anywhere." — American Historical Review. 32 halftones.
An important treatise on the religious thought of Ancient Egypt hailed as "well documented and carefully critical in the scholarly sense."--Harvard Divinity School.

Ancient Egyptian Religion An Interpretation
I'm surprised that there are no reviews for this book. In general, I liked it. It was well researched, obviously, not overly reliant on footnotes (I've read some books where there's more text in footnotes than the actual prose), and fairly easy to read without getting into too much detail. I'ts a good mid-level book for those interested in ancient Egypt. Though, the only thing lacking (which is not the fault of the author or anyone), is that it's old (1948) and there are a lot better books out there because our technology has greatly improved over the past 60 years.
All in all, a short quick read (150 pages), which is well written in a non-academic way which keeps the pace light and fast.
