RELG 203 - Religion and Culture in Ancient Egypt


Semester Offered: First Semester
Credits (Range): 3 Hours
Attribute: 3HU
The course situates Egyptian religion in its cultural and historical context, emphasizing the manifestations of religion in society, from kingship and state cults to personal piety and funerary rituals. Primary sacred texts of ancient Egypt (the Coffin Texts, the Book of the Dead) as well as non-elite texts (magical spells, personal devotions) will be examined. Material culture – architecture, artifacts, iconography, and the physical texts themselves – are also an important facet of this course.
Enrollment Limit: 35
Instructor: L. Ambridge
