Nothing New Under the Sun

"This book explores a variety of topics, using ancient Egyptian literature, the Bible, the writings of Shakespeare, and other historical texts as source material ... For the general reader who has an interest in religion, literature and historical traditions this book provides an original viewpoint, by suggesting links between cultures that are widely separated by time and place. To demonstrate these links, it includes information from a wide variety of sources, and because the facts are brought together in this way, the reader has an opportunity to consider a range of materials of which he might otherwise be unaware." From the Foreword by Professor Rosalie David
