SynopsisThe Ark of the Covenant in Its Egyptian Context: An Illustrated Journey invites readers on a journey of discovery that will change the way they view the Ark of the Covenant forever! Although much has been written about the Ark of the Covenant, few authors engage the wealth of information available that pertains to Egyptian material culture. The Ark of the Covenant in Its Egyptian Context: An Illustrated Journey is the first book to explore the complex history of sacred ritual furniture in Egypt that predated the ark by hundreds of years. Within Egyptian culture, over four hundred examples of ritual furniture exist that shed light on the design and appearance of the ark. These examples form patterns that provide context for the Israelites' understanding of the ark at the time of its construction. That understanding would have been obvious to the Israelites of the time, but has since become obscured over the millennia. This groundbreaking book is the first to connect the Ark of the Covenant with the archaeology and chronology of ancient Egypt, and it does so in an accessible way with straightforward text and dozens of full-color photographs and graphics. Key points and features: - A groundbreaking work of scholarship--the first of its kind to connect the Ark of the Covenant with its ancient Egyptian context. - High-level scholarship is paired with straightforward text, making it an accessible volume for students and curious laypeople, as well as experts in the field. - Includes dozens of full-color photographs and graphics depicting ancient Egyptian artifacts and art. - Durable hardcover is built to withstand heavy use in classrooms and libraries., The Ark of the Covenant in Its Egyptian Context: An Illustrated Journey invites readers on a journey of discovery that will change the way they view the Ark of the Covenant forever!Although much has been written about the Ark of the Covenant, few authors engage the wealth of information available that pertains to Egyptian material culture.
