The author describes the symbols and myths of the Osiris-Isis mysteries, the Messianic hopes concerning the young sun-Pharaoh, Akhenaton, and the spiritual twilight of the Egyptian mysteries that led Moses to leave Egypt for the desert. Bock interprets the imagery of the Bible in detail, and finds an inner history running parallel to the outer one. In its trials and temptations, the history of this people has the same stages and crises as the life of Jesus of Nazareth.
