reviewed Family Religion in Babylonia, Syria and Israel Continuity and Change in the Forms of Religio... on October 21, 2013 Family Religion in Babylonia
This is an amazing read, although it is an aquired taste. This is a study on the rituals, birthrites and practices in belief systems in so many of our worlds cultures. From kings and queens to human sacrifice and magical lore, this book is the apex of info. At times can be a tough read, but in the end so worth it. Also good as a reference book to keep handy.
