The Egyptian myths : a guide to the ancient gods and legends /
:
"This handy guide to Egyptian mythology explores how the ancient Nile-dwellers explained the world around them. It delves into the creation and evolution of the world and the reigns of the gods on earth, before introducing us to the manifestations of Egypt's deities in the natural environment; the inventive ways in which the Egyptians dealt with the invisible forces all around them; and their beliefs about life after death."-- Dust jacket.

Baouît, 2008-2018 : panorama et perspectives : rencontre de l'archéologie et des textes : Journées d'étude des 7-8 juin 2018, Paris, Ecole du Louvre /
:
"Le site monastique de Baouît en Moyenne-⁹gypte fait l'objet depuis 2003 de fouilles arcȟologiques, meňes conjointement par l'Ifao et le muše du Louvre. Š'tendant de la ̌priode byzantine ayant přčď la Conqůte aux premiers sïcles de ľ'poque arabe, il sert plus largement de ř̌frence dans la řgion du Bassin ̌mditerraňen. Des jourňes ď'tude organišes en juin 2018 onť ť l'occasion de faire le point sur l'activiť arcȟologique řcente in situ et sur la recherche foisonnante susciťe aup̈rs des chercheurs et universitaires au plan international. La publication des actes en deux parties, arcȟologie et textes, met en regard les premiers řsultats des campagnes de terrain sur une ďcennie et les travaux actuels meňs en paral̈lle dans le champ papyrologiquẻ travers de nombreuses collections. Les dix-sept articles řunis dans ce volume přsentent les řsultats de recherches řcentes et iňdites, traiťes par dif̌frents špcialistes qui le plus souvent publient špařment. L'originaliť de cet ouvrage est de les řunir dans une approche pluridisciplinaire, permettant aussi de nourrir une řflexion ̌mthodologique sur l'apport et, parfois, les limites de la combinaison des sources.

:
This volume has 1 and 2 Corinthians as its main focus where the various contributors address significant aspects of text, language, background, theology and exegesis. The first part of the volume deals with the issues of textual criticism and traditions available to Paul, while the second section is interdisciplinary in nature and integrates different methodologies such as social-scientific and rhetorical criticism in order to provide new insights into the text. The third and longest section addresses the varied theological problems which the community raised with Paul, including sexual matters, the timing of the resurrection the resurrection body, authority and headship, soteriology, and the question of Paul's faithfulness and integrity. The final section concentrates on the identity of Paul's opponents, his visions and apologetics.

Iron from Tutankhamun's tomb /
:
"A century after Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon's sensational discovery in 1922 of the virtually intact tomb of Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings, the boy-king and his treasures continue to fascinate people all over the world. Although nearly 5,400 objects accompanied the young pharaoh on his journey to the afterlife, many of them have not been investigated in detail. Iron from Tutankhamun's Tomb analyzes nineteen iron artifacts from the tomb in depth for the first time. This group consists of sixteen small iron chisels set into wooden handles, an Eye of Horus amulet, a miniature headrest, and the blade of a richly decorated golden dagger. The most important of these were placed in close proximity to the king's mummy, emphasizing the high value attributed to this rare material in late Bronze Age Egypt-a time when iron smelting was not yet known in the land of the Nile. Written by a research team of archaeologists, scientists, and conservators, this comprehensive study explores in fascinating detail the context and meaning of these artifacts, while establishing for the first time that Tutankhamun's iron came from meteorites. They complete their examination with the results of chemical analyses, offering in the process a rich overall understanding of iron and its significance in ancient Egypt."--

Individuals and materials in the Greco-Roman cults of Isis : agents, images, and practices /
:
In Individuals and Materials in the Greco-Roman Cults of Isis Valentino Gasparini and Richard Veymiers present a collection of reflections on the individuals and groups which animated one of Antiquity's most dynamic, significant and popular religious phenomena: the reception of the cults of Isis and other Egyptian gods throughout the Hellenistic and Roman worlds. These communities, whose members seem to share the same religious identity, for a long time have been studied in a monolithic way through the prism of the Cumontian category of the "Oriental religions". The 26 contributions of this book, divided into three sections devoted to the "agents", their "images" and their "practices", shed new light on this religious movement that appears much more heterogeneous and colorful than previously recognized.
