What reading level is Religions of Bible Lands book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The ceremonies of the pilgrimage, however, show that many gods were still thought to reside on the neighbouring mountains.
The style of the temples, of course, varied with the wealth and artistic ideas of the community. The temples seem ordinarily to have been separate, even different forms of the same god having separate houses. Thus at Sidon the same royal couple built temples to Ashtoreth and to Ashtoreth "name of Baal ". An inscription records the existence of three temples on the small isl...and of Gaulus near Malta. Where gods were thought to be closely connected, as, e. G. , by the marital relation, they sometimes shared a temple.
Every temple that was more than a shrine prob- ably had a sanctuary containing the God's image ; but it is probable that in large cities they also had rooms which would serve for public meetings. The story of the Temple of Dagon at Gaza (Judges xvi. 21-30) suggests a building similar to a modern mosque. Inscriptions remain telling of porches, orna- mental staircases and avenues of pillars attached to temples of the sun and other deities.
