    About this ebook

    "The Ancient Egyptian Doctrine" by Alfred Wiedemann is an eschatology book. The author gives a clear exposition of the most important shape that the doctrine of immortality assumed in Egypt.
    Excerpt:
    "Little as we know of the ancient Egyptian religion in its entirety, and of its motley mixture of childishly crude fetichism and deep philosophic thought, of superstition and true religious worship, of polytheism, henotheism, and pantheism, one dogma stands out clearly from this confusion, one article of belief to which the Egyptian religion owes its unique position among all other religions of antiquity−-the doctrine of the immortality of the human soul."
