In this book, Tyson Putthoff explores the relationship between gods
and humans, and between divine nature and human nature, in the
Ancient Near East. In this world, gods lived among humans. The two
groups shared the world with one another, each playing a special
role in maintaining order in the cosmos. Humans also shared aspects
of a godlike nature. Even in their natural condition, humans
enjoyed a taste of the divine state. Indeed, gods not only lived
among humans, but also they lived inside them, taking up residence
in the physical body. As such, human nature was actually a
composite of humanity and divinity. Putthoff offers new insights
into the ancients' understanding of humanity's relationship with
the gods, providing a comparative study of this phenomenon from the
third millennium BCE to the first century CE.
