Summary

In this 1902 work, Sayce uses his theological and philological knowledge to consider the concept of the divine in ancient Egypt and Babylonia. He describes each civilisation's deities, and tries to deduce what each may have believed about the divine, while emphasising the inherent difficulty of interpreting the evidence for beliefs.
