Publisher:

Westminster John Knox

, 1994

Overview

In the first of two volumes, a comprehensive history of Israelite religion is offered as a strong addition to the Old Testament Library series. A rich treatment of their mode of worship draws from multiple books of the Bible. The much-anticipated second volume of A History of Israelite Religion begins at the period of the exile and carries the investigation of Israelite religion to the period of the Maccabean revolt, thereby concentrating its focus on a period given less prominence in other studies of the type.
