Publisher's Synopsis
""Egypt and the Books of Moses"" by Ernst Wilhelm Hengstenberg is a comprehensive study of the relationship between the biblical account of Moses and the ancient Egyptian civilization. The book is divided into two parts, with the first section providing an in-depth analysis of the historical and cultural context of Egypt during the time of Moses. Hengstenberg examines the monuments, inscriptions, and artwork of ancient Egypt to shed light on the social and political conditions of the time.The second part of the book focuses on the biblical account of Moses, specifically the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Hengstenberg argues that these books were written with a deep understanding of Egyptian culture and history, and that they provide valuable insights into the spiritual and religious beliefs of the ancient Israelites.Throughout the book, Hengstenberg draws on his extensive knowledge of both ancient Egyptian and biblical texts to provide a detailed and nuanced analysis of the relationship between these two important historical and cultural traditions. ""Egypt and the Books of Moses"" is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of the ancient Near East, the Bible, or the intersection of religion and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
