Conceptions Of God In Ancient Egypt: The One And The Many

An excellent historical overview of the gods... It is a recommended necessary reading for those studying Ancient Egyptian religion.?Frankie's Reviews in Egyptology

A work of extraordinary distinction, Hornung’s book will appeal to anyone interested in ancient Egypt, in ancient religion, and in the history of religion, as well as students and scholars of ancient history, anthropology, and archaeology.

Osiris, Horus, Isis, Thoth, Anubis - the many strange and compelling figures of the Egyptian gods and goddesses seem to possess endless fascination. The renowned Egyptologist Erik Hornung here studies the ancient Egyptians' conceptions of god, basing his account on a thorough reappraisal of the primary sources. His book, now available in English for the first time, is the most extensive exploration yet undertaken of the nature of Egyptian religion.

Hornung examines the characteristics, spheres of action, and significance of Egyptian gods and goddesses, analyzing the complex and changing iconography used to represent them, and disentangling the many seemingly contradictory aspects of the religion of which they are a part. He seeks to answer two basic questions: How did the Egyptians themselves see their gods? Did they believe there was an impersonal, anonymous force behind the multiplicity of their deities? Throughout, he attempts to evoke the complexity and richness of the religion of the ancient Egyptians and of their worldview, which differs so greatly from our own.

Sensitively translated by John Baines and with a new preface by the author, this edition has been amplified and updated with an English-language audience in mind.

'

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.

Hornung asks usually neglected questions concerning what the Egyptians themselves thought about their gods, thus meeting these people on their own terms. Along the way he carefully examines evidence that has been marshaled in favor of monotheism or monotheistic tendencies within what appears to be a vast Egyptian pantheon. Adding to the pleasure and usefulness of this work is the fine translation by John Baines.... Containing a full index, a glossary of gods, and appropriate illustrations, this is a significant volume.

'

It is not often that an introduction to the thorny topic of ancient Egyptian religion can be recommended unreservedly.... Over the past thirty-five years the acceptable introductions to Egyptian religion can be counted on the fingers of one hand, and all are from the pens of scholars trained in a Germanic tradition! The present work by Erik Hornung maintains this excellent, though rare, standard.

ONE OF THE BEST ON THE MARKET AND GREAT PRICE!
Size: 24 Lb, Color: Pink, Size: 24 Lb, Color: Pink
I received my 24 pound vest today. I ordered pink. I love the color! Upon inspection, I see that the vest is very well-made, sturdy, with no metal beads leaking. It fits great. My previous vest hung down too low, resting on my hips. This one sits much higher, just like I wanted it too. This fits my body pretty great. I wore it inside my house to give it a try for two hours. It never shifted and I did not have to adjust it. However, the bulging sand pockets on my back, pressed against my shoulder blades and were a little bit bothersome, but not painful. I’m sure I’ll get used to it. I have purchased 5 rucking vests from 4 different manufacturers and this one, along with RuKSTR are the best. Unfortunately, RuKSTR does not make a 24+ lb weighted vest. Here are the stats of my body: 5’9” 142 lbs. 68 yrs old Bust = 38” Waist = 28” Midriff = 30” Top of shoulder to waist = 19” Shoulders end-to-end = 15”

Great work out product
Size: 15 Lb, Color: Black
Zeerun Weighted Vest is most definitely a great product. I am plus-size with large shoulders. This product fits great, the clasp is adjustable, and the padding is soft and comfortable. I don't worry about it holding up. I've been using it for about a month it has great stability, and it's not bulky.

Comfortable fit allows full range of motion
Size: 12 Lb, Color: Purple, Size: 12 Lb, Color: Purple
This is a powerful tool to have in your workout arsenal. The vest is made well; exactly as pictured and described. I ordered mine in purple and thought it would feel bulky and heavy because I struggled with the weight of the box. However, as I took it out of its packing and it unfolded, I felt the weight change. It slipped on easily and adjusting the chest strap went quick and has stayed secure. It feels good on; comfortable, stays in place and does not hinder arm movements. The padding sounds like sand(?) and conform to my body thus avoiding pressure points or places of pain. It does not make me hotter than my workouts normally would, nor does it encourage excessive sweating. I am 100% happy with this vest and as I get stronger I will purchase a heavier one from this company.

Adjustable Weighted Vest for Stronger Workouts
Size: 10 Lb, Color: Black
Training feels more intense and controlled with this Zeerun Weighted Vest, designed to add extra resistance during walks, workouts, or cardio routines. The weight is distributed evenly, helping maintain balance while increasing workout intensity without feeling overly restrictive. The adjustable buckle system allows for a more secure fit across different body types, which helps keep the vest stable during movement. The reflective stripe is a useful detail for visibility during early morning or evening outdoor workouts. The material feels comfortable enough for longer sessions, and the design allows natural movement while still adding resistance to everyday exercises like walking, jogging, or bodyweight training. It’s a practical way to increase workout difficulty without changing a full routine.

Weighted Vest
Size: 24 Lb, Color: Black, Size: 24 Lb, Color: Black
it’s going to feel heavier than 25lb if it’s your first time with a weighted vest but the quality is top tier, it’s easy to put on and remove, very fitted and adjustable, it comes with pockets to store little things while on your walk or run. wouldn’t recommend washing this unless it’s being washed outside and hung up to air dry but overall perfect for a good workout.
