Part 1. Temples in the ancient Near East -- part 2. Divine presence in ancient Near Eastern temples.
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.
