520 |a This volume brings together experts in the study of ancient prayers and divination methods to analyse the variety of means by which human beings sought to communicate with their gods and by which the gods were seen to communicate with their worshippers.

Such a format allows divine-human communication to be studied in both directions simultaneously.
