Excerpt from The Religions of Ancient Egypt and Babylonia: The Gifford Lectures on the Ancient Egyptian and Babylonian, Conception of the Divine, Delivered in Aberdeen The subject of the following lectures was "The Conception of the Divine among the ancient Egyptians and Babylonians," and in writing them I have kept this aspect of them constantly in view. The time has not yet come for a systematic history of Babylonian religion, whatever may be the case as regards ancient Egypt, and, for reasons stated in the text, we must be content with general principles and fragmentary details. It is on this account that so little advance has been made in grasping the real nature and characteristics of Babylonian religion, and that a sort of natural history description of it has been supposed to be all that is needed by the student of religion. While reading over again my Hibbert Lectures, as well as later works on the subject, I have been gratified at finding how largely they have borrowed from me, even though it be without acknowledgment. But my Hibbert Lectures were necessarily a pioneering work, and we must now attempt to build on the materials which were there brought together. In the present volume, therefore, the materials are presupposed; they will be found for the most part either in my Hibbert Lectures or in the cuneiform texts which have since been published. We are better off, fortunately, as regards the religion of ancient Egypt. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Religions of Ancient Egypt and Babylonia by A. H. Sayce Pdf
Archibald Henry Sayce (1845-1933) became interested in Middle Eastern languages and scripts while still a teenager. Old Persian and Akkadian cuneiform had recently been deciphered, and popular enthusiasm for these discoveries was running high when Sayce began his academic career at Oxford in 1869. In this 1902 work, originally given as the Gifford lectures at the University of Aberdeen, Sayce uses his theological as well as his philological knowledge and experience to consider the concept of the divine in ancient Egypt and Babylonia. He describes the deities of each civilisation, and from what is known of religious practice he attempts to deduce what each may have believed about the divine and about the place of man in the god-created order of the universe. He also emphasises the difficulty of using material remains as evidence for beliefs, and the problem of interpreting religious texts in languages which were then still not well understood.
