Summary "Gods in Dwellings is the first book devoted exclusively to temples and perceptions of the divine presence that inhabits them in ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Hittite Anatolia, and Syria-Palestine. It is thus concerned with official religion and with exploring the interface between human and divine in the major temples of the ancient Near East. This volume collects and synthesizes a vast amount of data, draws on the insights of multiple related disciplines and offers a single interpretive lens through which to view it."--Back cover.
