Parallels between Hittite civilisation and the Old Testament belong
largely to the field of religion. In the first of his three
Schweich lectures (delivered in 1976) Professor Gurney traces the
historical development of the Hittite pantheon, while in his second
and third lectures he selects some aspects of Hittite religion
which can be compared with ancient Hebrew and Canaanite
institutions. The second lecture describes the cult, both local and
official, and the purpose of the open-air temple at Yazilikaya. The
third is devoted to Hittite rituals of elimination and substitution
and the mortuary ritual for the King. Parallels are drawn with the
biblical masseba as a cult object and with the scapegoat ritual of
Leviticus.
