First line

In classical antiquity the seemingly abstruse deities of Egypt already aroused reactions of antipathy and scornful rejection.

From the rear cover

'After surveying the approaches to Egyptian religion from antiquity through twentieth-century scholarship, Hornung...considers aspects of divinity, the iconography and characteristics of the gods, and the relationship between gods and believers....A masterly, scrupulously documented work that combines close attention to textual and artifactual evidence with penetrating theological insights.'--Library Journal
