Politics Religion in Ancient Israel: An Introduction to the Study of the Old Testament (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Delving into the earliest religious beliefs and customs in ancient Israel, this book explores the profound connection between politics and religion in the region. Through a comparative analysis of the social and political developments in Israel with those in the broader Mediterranean world, the author provides a fresh perspective on the evolution of religious thought and practice.
