This book is a critical study of the role played by architecture
and texts in promoting political and religious ideologies in the
ancient world. It explains a palace as an element in royal
propaganda seeking to influence social concepts about kingship, and
a text about a temple as influencing social concepts about the
relationship between God and human beings. Applying the methods of
analysis developed in built environment studies, the author
interprets the palace and temple building programs of Sennacherib,
King of Assyria, and Solomon, King of Israel. The physical evidence
for the palace and the verbal evidence for the temple are explained
as presenting communicative icons intended to influence
contemporary political and religious concepts. The volume concludes
with innovative interpretations of the contributions of
architectural and verbal icons to religious and political reform.
