Summary

Chapter seven concludes this study. I begin the conclusion with a chapter-by-chapter summary of what we have found in the foregoing chapters. After this, I offer a more synthetic analysis of near eastern and Mediterranean ideas about the human self and its relationship to the divine. I also offer some thoughts on the implications of my study on near eastern and biblical studies, as well as on the study of early Judaism and Christianity.
