| Abstract | ||||
| This article examines the conceptualization of ignorance in the realm of Egyptian deities in a theological context. It considers the associations between divine ignorance and divine mystery, where the latter is understood as that which cannot be comprehended by the human intelligence. It provides a more nuanced perception of this complicated notion as a modifier of divine behaviour and how it influences the realm of deities. The article thoroughly discusses the types of divine ignorance, its influence, threats, vindications and justifications, as well as its destructive and constructive connotations. The article examines the attested incidences of divine ignorance, their consequences and experience in the realm of deities including its effect on the relationship between deities and its harm in the realm of Egyptian deities. The article also examines the attitudes of deities that count as ignorance and the circumstances under which their ignorance can be regarded as justified or unjustified. | ||||
