Synopsis
This article explores how Egyptian religious history was received in the work of a biblical scholar from Graz. It highlights continuities between Egyptian, ancient Israelite, and early Christian traditions, including iconographic parallels such as divine sonship and Marian imagery. The figure of Akhenaten is also discussed. Although Egypt was not a primary research focus, smaller studies and travels reveal a clear fascination. The approach reflects a scholarly tradition viewing Egypt as a communicative vessel of religious development.
