Exploring the interplay between religion and ideology, this book delves into Assyrian cultural discourse from the third to the first millennium BCE. It utilizes diverse literary, ritual, and visual sources to illustrate how ideology functions as a subdiscourse of religion, integrating it into the broader religious worldview of the time. This approach offers a nuanced understanding of Assyrian society and its belief systems.
