Download or read book The Origins of Biblical Monotheism : Israel's Polytheistic Background and the Ugaritic Texts written by Mark S. Smith Skirball Professor of Bible and Ancient Near Eastern Studies New York University. This book was released on 2001-07-13. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the Bible, ancient Israel's neighbors worshipped a wide variety of gods. In recent years, scholars have sought a better understanding of this early polytheistic milieu and its relation to Yahweh, the God of Israel. Drawing on ancient Ugaritic texts and looking closely at Ugaritic deities, Mark Smith examines the meaning of "divinity" in the ancient near East and considers how this concept applies to Yahweh.

Book Synopsis Only One God? by : Bob Becking

Download or read book Only One God? written by Bob Becking. This book was released on 2002-02-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The view of ancient Israelite religion as monotheistic has long been traditional in Judaism, Christianity and Islam, religions that have elaborated in their own way the biblical image of a single male deity. But recent archaeological findings of texts and images from the Iron Age kingdoms of Israel and Judah and their neighbourhood offer a quite different impression. Two issues in particular raised by these are the existence of a female consort, Asherah, and the implication for monotheism; and the proliferation of pictorial representations that may contradict the biblical ban on images. Was the religion of ancient Israel really as the Bible would have us believe? This volume provides a comprehensive introduction to these issues, presenting the relevant inscriptions and discussing their possible impact for Israelite monotheism, the role of women in the cult, and biblical theology.
