Abstract

Civilizations of the ancient Near East presents this enormously rich world from a variety of perspectives. It describes the physical world of the ancient Near East, evaulates the impact of ancient near eastern civilizations on succeeding cultures, and reconstructs its cultural contexts based on archaeological findings and the deciphering of documents. The set consists of 189 artciles organized in eleven parts, enhanced by 46 maps and 612 photographs and line drawings.

Abstract

This volume deals with secrecy and concealment in the history of mediterranean religions as pattern of social interaction. Secrecy is a powerful means in establishing identity and interaction as G. Simmel has demonstrated. Using his approach the scholars of this volume describe and explain the practical meaning of concealment in two different religious systems: in Egyptian and Greek polytheism and in Jewish, Christian, Gnostic and Shi'i monotheisms. This point of view reveals that all these religions shaped social norms concerning public and private aspects of the human self.
