In this book, Nicola Laneri traces the transformation of the belief systems that shaped life in ancient Near Eastern communities, from prehistoric times until the advent of religious monotheism in the Levant during the first millennium BCE. Considering a range of evidence, from stone ceremonial enclosures, such as as Göbleki Tepe, to the construction of the first temples and icons of Mesopotamian polytheistic beliefs, to the Temple of Jerusalem, the iconic center of Israelite monotheism, Laneri offers new insights into the symbolic value embodied in the religious materiality produced in the ancient Near East.

En este libro, Nicola Laneri rastrea la transformación de los sistemas de creencias que conformaban la vida en las antiguas comunidades del Próximo Oriente, desde la prehistoria hasta el advenimiento del monoteísmo religioso en Levante durante el primer milenio a.C.. Teniendo en cuenta una serie de pruebas, desde recintos ceremoniales de piedra, como Göbleki Tepe, hasta la construcción de los primeros templos e iconos de las creencias politeístas mesopotámicas, pasando por el Templo de Jerusalén, centro icónico del monoteísmo israelita, Laneri ofrece nuevas perspectivas sobre el valor simbólico encarnado en la materialidad religiosa producida en el antiguo Próximo Oriente.
