ISBN: 9781530659043
Category :
Languages : en

FIFTH ANNIVERSARY EDITION The 3rd Edition of an original underground classic revealing amazing insight into the religious and spiritual reality of the ancient Babylonians, described on cuneiform clay tablets unearthed in the Middle East. Newly recommissioned as a pocket edition (for the first time ever!) by prolific writer, Joshua Free, to match the design of its celebrated companion "The Book of Marduk by Nabu: Pocket Anunnaki Devotional Companion of the Mardukites" (also available). The Book of Zagmuk (by Nabu) is a specially prepared ceremonial text with selected 'tablet collections' combining materials from the original Mardukite handbook "Wizards of the Wastelands" (2011) in conjunction with critical excerpts from Joshua Free's "Necronomicon Anunnaki Bible" and essentially comprising the internal methods of the 'Order of Nabu' to establish Mardukite 'religious' continuity and Marduk's royal legitimacy at the height of the Babylonian pantheon using the Babylonian New Year Festival, Akitu (Akiti) or Zagmuk, reviving the same process used by ancient priests of the Sumerian Anunnaki in Mesopotamia! The Book of Zagmuk by Nabu is the 'official' Mardukite-Anunnaki companion to the ancient Babylonian New Year Festival, known as Akitu (Akiti) or Zagmuk, originally available exclusively to the modern revival organization known as the Mardukite Chamberlains and now released to the public in a special and economical pocket edition -- the perfect supplement to the pocket 'Book of Marduk'!

Moses among the Idols
Author: Amy L. Balogh
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1978700318
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
In Moses among the Idols: Mediators of the Divine in the Ancient Near East, Balogh simultaneously redefines one of the greatest figures in the history of religion and challenges the historically popular understanding of ancient Mesopotamian idols as the idle objects of antiquated faiths. Drawing on interdisciplinary research and methods of comparison, Balogh not only offers new insight into the lives of idols as active mediators between humanity and divinity, she also makes the case that when it comes to understanding the figure of Moses, Mesopotamian idols are the best analogy that the ancient Near East provides. This new understanding of Moses, idols, and the interplay between the two on the stage of history and within the biblical text has been made possible only with the recent publication of pertinent texts from ancient Mesopotamia. Drawing from the fields of Assyriology, biblical studies, comparative religion, and archaeology, Balogh identifies a problem with Moses’s status, and offers an unexpected solution to that problem. Moses among the Idols centers on the question: What is it that transforms Moses from an inadequate representative of Yahweh who is “uncircumcised of lips” to “god to Pharaoh” (Exodus 6:28-7:1)? In this moment, Moses undergoes a status change best understood through comparison with the induction ritual for ancient Mesopotamian idols as described in the texts of the Mīs Pȋ, “Washing” or “Purification of the Mouth.” This solution to the problem of Moses’s status explains not only his status change, but also why Moses radiates light after speaking with YHWH (Exod 34:29-35), and his peculiar relationship with YHWH and people of Israel. The comparative, interdisciplinary perspective provided by Balogh allows one to read these and other millennia-old interpretive issues anew, and to do so in a way that underscores the contribution of in-depth comparison to our understanding of ancient civilizations, texts, and intellectual frameworks.
