The shift from polytheism to monotheism changed the world
radically. Akhenaten and Moses-a figure of history and a figure of
tradition-symbolize this shift in its incipient, revolutionary
stages and represent two civilizations that were brought into the
closest connection as early as the Book of Exodus, where Egypt
stands for the old world to be rejected and abandoned in order to
enter the new one.The seven chapters of this seminal study shed
light on the great transformation from different angles. Between
Egypt in the first chapter and monotheism in the last, five
chapters deal in various ways with the transition from one to the
other, analyzing the Exodus myth, understanding the shift in terms
of evolution and revolution, confronting Akhenaten and Moses in a
new way, discussing Karl Jaspers' theory of the Axial Age, and
dealing with the eighteenth-century view of the Egyptian mysteries
as a cultural model.
