About This Item
Oxford University Press. Near Fine in Very Good- dust jacket. 1977. Hardcover. 019725974X . Book has very light shelfwear. Dustjacket has some chipping and small tears along upper edge. Dustjacket is protected in mylar. ; Schweich Lectures on Biblical Archaeology; 88 pages; Parallels between Hittite civilisation and the Old Testament belong largely to the field of religion. In the first of his three Schweich lectures (delivered in 1976) Professor Gurney traces the historical development of the Hittite pantheon, while in his second and third lectures he selects some aspects of Hittite religion which can be compared with ancient Hebrew and Canaanite institutions. The second lecture describes the cult, both local and official, and the purpose of the open-air temple at Yazilikaya. The third is devoted to Hittite rituals of elimination and substitution and the mortuary ritual for the King. Parallels are drawn with the biblical masseba as a cult object and with the scapegoat ritual of Leviticus. .
