The Religion of Ancient Israel Paperback / softback
by Patrick D. Miller
Part of the Library of Ancient Israel series
Paperback / softback
Description
Patrich D. Miller investigates the role religion played in the family, village, tribe, and nation-state of ancient Israel.
He situates Israel's religion in context where a variety of social forces affected beliefs, and where popular cults openly competed with the "official" religion.
He makes extensive use of both epigraphic and artifactual evidence as he probes the complexities of Iron Age culture and society. Volumes in the Library of Ancient Israel draw on multiple disciplines--such as archaeology, anthropology, sociology, linguistics, and literary criticism--to illuminate the everyday realities and social subtleties these ancient cultures experienced.
This series employs sophisticated methods resulting in original contributions that depict the reality of the people behind the Hebrew Bible and interprets these insights for a wide variety of readers.
