Neither easy nor difficult to read. Produced by Ben Courtney and PG Distributed Proofreaders "Egyptian Ideas of the Future Life" by Sir E. A. Wallis Budge is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. This work serves as the first volume in a series designed to provide an accessible overview of key aspects of ancient Egyptian beliefs, focusing on the concepts of resurrection and the afterlife as depicted in religious texts. The opening of the book presents an introduction and preface that outline the challenges of systematically tracing ancient Egyptian beliefs regarding the afterlife. Budge emphasizes that these beliefs evolved without a singular authoritative doctrine, reflecting a diverse range of texts from different historical periods. He highlights the central idea of immortality, which deeply influences Egyptian burial practices and religious life. The text surveys the significance of the "Book of the Dead" as a primary source, revealing how various religious beliefs—ranging from the sublime to the superstitious—converged to form a complex view of resurrection and the future life that was pivotal to ancient Egyptian culture.
