In nine chapters, James K. Hoffmeier (cf. table of contents, available in the Preview) examines the current facts as well as interpretations about Akhenaten’s religion. He does not intend to produce an exhaustive treatise on Akhenaten and his times, as the focus here is primarily on the religious developments that lead to the earliest known form of monotheism in history. Hoffmeier’s considerable experience with the Amarna period goes back for more than four decades. It includes his participation in the Akhenaten Temple Project in Karnak in the mid 1970s and excavations on his own in Northern Sinai between 1999 and 2008. He is also familiar with all the relevant sources and the numerous interpretations resulting from them. He states: the “intention of the present research is to attempt to investigate Akhenaten’s religion with the sensitivity of the phenomenologist and to employ comparative considerations” (140).
Akhenaten is one of the most intriguing rulers of ancient Egypt, and one of the most fascinating individuals from the ancient world. His odd appearance in representations that he commissioned and his preoccupation with worshiping the sun-disc, or Aten, have stimulated a vast amount of academic discussion and controversy for more than a century. The focus of this book is on Akhenaten's religion and how it developed. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
