Praeger
$94.99
This book explores how ancient Egyptian religion influenced the development of Judaism and Christianity, challenging the idea that these faiths emerged in complete isolation. Gabriel argues that core theological concepts—such as monotheism, the afterlife, and divine law—were shaped by Egyptian beliefs and traditions. He presents historical and archaeological evidence to show that Egypt’s religious memory lives on through biblical narratives and doctrines. This work contributes to the discussion of religious origins by highlighting the deep connections between ancient Egyptian and Judeo-Christian thought.
