{"product_id":"from-akhenaten-to-moses-jan-assmann-9789774167492","title":"From Akhenaten to Moses: Ancient Egypt and Religious Change","description":"The shift from polytheism to monotheism changed the world radically. Akhenaten and Moses symbolize this shift. The seven chapters of this seminal study shed light on the great transformation from different angles. Between Egypt in the first chapter and monotheism in the last, five chapters deal in various ways with the transition from one to the other, analyzing the Exodus myth, understanding the shift in terms of evolution and revolution, confronting Akhenaten and Moses in a new way, discussing Karl Jaspers' theory of the Axial Age, and dealing with the eighteenth-century view of the Egyptian mysteries as a cultural model.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jan Assmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 977416749X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789774167492\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e American University in Cairo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.80w x 0.50d","brand":"Jan Assmann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941376590079,"sku":"9789774167492","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ba5d05ef-cffe-4317-bb3a-8db928698ece.jpg?v=1681452565","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-akhenaten-to-moses-jan-assmann-9789774167492","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
