Книга "Religion in Antiquity: Household and Family" - первая книга, исследующая религиозные аспекты семьи и домашнего быта в древнем Средиземноморье и Западной Азии. Она расширяет наше понимание домашней и семейной религии, в отличие от государственно спонсируемых или гражданских храмовых культов. Книга восстанавливает обряды домашней и семейной религии в Египте, Греции, Риме, Израиле, Месопотамии, Угарите, Эмаре и Филистии. Она исследует многие домашние ритуалы, такие как уход за предками и обращение к покровительствующим божествам или духам, связанным с самим домом. Книга также рассматривает религиозные практики, связанные с жизненным циклом, от беременности и рождения до зрелости, старости, смерти и за ее пределами. Она рассматривает религиозные практики, связанные с домашней сферой, как в самом доме, так и в других пространствах, таких как за городскими стенами на местных святилищах и гробницах.
This is the first book dedicated to exploring the religious aspects of ancient Mediterranean, west Asian households - without neglecting state-sanctioned or civic temple services. This book actively reconstructs domestic and familial religious practices of worship in many parts of Mediterranean and west Asia, from Egypt, Greece to Emar and Hamath. Many household rituals of ancestral worship, prayers to gods and spirits important to the lives of individuals and families, request to deities they held most dear are described in details. Lifecourse rituals such as pregnancy, delivery and maternity rites are also examined, as are hymns for mature individuals, their old and dying alongside disappearance of divine protectors and their eventual importation into the underworld after death.
