Description

A Story of YHWH investigates how ancient Israelites expressed their deity and explains the variations in that expression from the early Iron Age through the Persian period. This scholarly work traces YHWH's development from its earliest origins, offering readers deeper insight into the complexities and historical contexts that shaped early YHWHism. The text employs two key interpretive frameworks-cultural translation and subversive reception-to help scholars and students filter through textual evidence and archaeological contexts. Through comparative study with other ancient Near Eastern deities and careful analysis of select biblical texts, the book illuminates how religious concepts evolved across centuries of Israelite history. Published by Routledge as part of the Studies in the History of the Ancient Near East series, this volume serves academic audiences studying ancient religion, biblical history, and Near Eastern civilisations seeking rigorous historical and textual analysis.
