Description

Explore the complex relationship between ancient Israelite religion and solar veneration in Yahweh and the Sun. Published by Bloomsbury as part of The Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies, this provocative work investigates the concept of solar Yahwism. The text argues that a significant overlap existed between the worship of the sun and Yahweh, suggesting that in certain contexts, Yahweh was worshipped as the sun. Because the sun was viewed as an object created by God rather than by humans, it was often seen as a legitimate icon of Yahweh of Hosts that fell outside the restrictions of the second commandment. This book provides fresh insights into specific biblical passages, including Genesis 1, Joshua 10, 1 Kings 8, and Ezekiel 8. It is a significant resource for those studying theology, Judaism, and the archaeological history of the ancient Near East.
