Clive Barrett

Essays on peace and pacifism by distinguished Christians, showing that peace is not always the easy option but calls for the radical acceptance of the gospel message of Christ.

A short, easily read book. Barrett begins with a concise history of Egypt and then gives a short explanation of each deity (many with only one page of text) including their origin, major centers of worship, and relationships to the other gods. What makes the book stand out are the many drawings by Barrett that give the reader a feel for life in ancient Egypt.
This volume would be an excellent quick reference on the subject.
