A further major section discusses religious themes: aniconism, henotheism, death-cult and the divinisation of kings. In a final chapter, Nabataean religion is considered in relation to Judaism, Christianity and Islam.The book will be of particular interest to historians of religion in the Graeco-Roman Near East and to Semitic epigraphists.
