The Geschichte der hethitischen Religion is the first representation of a comprehensive history of the Hittite Religion from the beginning of the Neolithic until the end of the era of the Hittite Great Kingdom, giving insight in until now for the most part unknown sources.

Geschichte der hethitischen Religion presents the first comprehensive representation of the religious history of the Hittites, using both cuneiform and archaeological sources of the Ancient Near East, as from the beginning of the Neolithic until the end of the era of the Hittite Great Kingdom around 1150 B.C.
Special attention will be paid to Ancient Near Eastern cosmologies, the Hittite Kingship and the world of the gods. The book will lead the reader from 'national' to regional divinities and from 'types' of gods, local numina, divine attributes and symbols to the cultic inventory. A fascinating insight in sacrificial practices, in myths and popular religious customs renders the reader a comprehensive overview of the Hittite festive calendar.
A historical survey will give the reader the essential reference.

Volkert Haas is Professor of Ancient Oriental philology at the Freie Universität Berlin. His emphasis is on Hittitology and Hurritology.
