First English-language edition, with revisions and additions by the
author.This classic work by one of the world's most distinguished
Egyptologists was first published in German in 1984. The Search for
God in Ancient Egypt offers a distillation of Jan Assmann's views
on ancient Egyptian religion, with special emphasis on theology and
piety. Deeply rooted in the texts of ancient Egypt and thoroughly
informed by comparative religion, theology, anthropology, and
semiotic analysis, Assmann's interpretations reveal the complexity
of Egyptian thought in a new way.Assmann takes special care to
distinguish between the "implicit" theology of Egyptian polytheism
and the "explicit" theology that is concerned with exploring the
problem of the divine. His discussion of polytheism and mythology
addresses aspects of ritual, the universe, and myth; his
consideration of explicit theology deals with theodicy and the
specifics of Amarna religion.
