Gods in the Desert explores the fascinating religious cultures of
the ancient Near East. From the mysterious pyramids, tombs, and
temples of Egypt to the powerful heroes, gods, and legends of
Mesopotamia, Glenn Holland guides readers through the early
religions that are the root of many of today's major faiths.
Holland compares the religions of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and
Syria-Palestine, including Israel and Judah, from the Neolithic era
through the conquest of Alexander the Great. He provides a
historical survey of each region, then discusses the gods, the
rulers, the afterlife, and the worship rituals. This accessible
overview makes clear how these religions converged and diverged,
and are intimately connected to many of the religions we recognize
today, sometimes in surprising ways.
