Des Polytheismes Aux Monotheismes

Des Polytheismes Aux Monotheismes

By Gabbay U.

Book Description

This scholarly exploration delves into one of humanity's most profound spiritual transformations: the evolution from polytheistic traditions to monotheistic faith systems. Drawing from the rich archaeological and textual heritage of the ancient Near East, this comprehensive work examines how civilizations gradually shifted their understanding of the divine from multiple deities to unified spiritual concepts.

The book emerges from decades of meticulous research in Assyriology, particularly focusing on the Ur III period around 2100-2000 BC, a crucial era in human spiritual development. Through careful analysis of ancient tablets and archaeological evidence, readers gain insight into how early civilizations conceived of divine power and spiritual authority.

For modern spiritual seekers, this work offers valuable perspective on how monotheistic traditions developed within their historical context. The examination of Assyro-Babylonian religious practices and their relationship to later monotheistic developments provides a deeper understanding of how spiritual concepts evolved over millennia.

Written by international scholars with expertise in ancient Near Eastern studies, the book bridges academic rigor with accessible insights into humanity's spiritual journey. The extensive 543-page exploration includes both English and French contributions, reflecting the global nature of this research.

This volume serves as both a scholarly resource and a window into understanding how ancient spiritual wisdom continues to influence contemporary faith traditions and personal spiritual development.
