An introduction to the ancient Near Eastern roots of Western
religions, beginning with the earliest material from the
prehistoric period and continuing through the religious
traditions of the great parent civilizations of Sumer, Babylon,
Assyria, and Egypt. Attention will be given to religious
structures as revealed in the beliefs, literature, history, and
archaeology of these traditions, as well as to subsequent effects
of these on later religions.
