The Egyptian Religion
Although the intention really was to illustrate the the academic side of the religion, I could not help but really absorb its spiritual qualities. Budge illustrated the various waves of religious sway over the years and discussed the changes of the main gods from Ra to Osiris (a mortal dying and rising)to Amen-Ra, to the cult of Aten and then back to Amen once more.
His most referenced religious text is the Book of Coming Forth by Day which he refers to throughout the book in its more layman form the Book of the Dead which I presume to be out of convenience for both him and the reader to linkages a bit faster. The Book of the Dead makes sense when we are speaking about the souls of those who are deceased and are waiting for their hearts to be weighed in the balance.
Overall an excellent text for any beginner on Egyptian Religion.
