This book brings together, for the first time in a single volume,
the significant works on ancient Egyptian religion by renowned
Egyptologist Aylward M. Blackman (1883-1956). During his life,
Blackman did not publish his writings in book form, placing them
instead in a range of publications that are now difficult to
obtain.
Section I discusses subjects including purification, salvation,
sin, myth, and ritual. In Section II, such topics as the cult of
the dead and the significance of incense and libations in funerary
and temple ritual are covered. Section III includes explorations of
priesthood, the hierarchical position of women, and worship.
Finally, Section IV looks at topics including kinghood,
communication between gods and men, and oracles.
Blackman's seminal studies of Egyptian religious belief and
practice have long been regarded as essential readings on the
subject, and Gods, Priests, and Men finally makes Blackman's
classic writings available to a broad, general audience. A select
bibliography provides an update and key to more recent work on
topics discussed by Blackman.
