Description

A critical study of the role played by architecture and texts in promoting political and religious ideologies in the ancient world. The volume explains a palace as an element in royal propaganda seeking to influence social concepts about kingship, and as a temple by influencing social concepts about the relationship between God and human beings. Applying the methods of analysis developed in built enviromental studies, the author interprets the palace and temple building programmes of the Sennacherib, King of Assyria and Solomon, King of Israel. The physical evidence for the palace and the verbal evidence for the temple are explained as presenting communicative icons intended to influence contemporary political and religious concepts. The volume concludes with innovative interpretations of the contributions of architectural and verbal icons to religious and political reform.
