Early Israel offers the most sweeping reinterpretation of the
Pentateuch since the nineteenth-century Documentary Hypothesis.
Engaging a dozen-plus modern academic disciplines-from
anthropology, biblical studies, Egyptology and semiotics, to
linguistics, cognitive poetics and consciousness studies; from
religious studies, Jewish studies, psychoanalysis and literary
criticism, to mysticism studies, cognitive psychology,
phenomenology and philosophy of mind-it wrests from the Pentateuch
an outline of the heretofore undiscovered ancient Israelite
mystical-initiatory tradition of the First Temple priests. The book
effectively launches a new research area: Pentateuchal esoteric
mysticism, akin to a "center" or "organizing principle" discussed
in biblical theology. The recovered priestly system is discordant
vis-a-vis the much-later rabbinical project. This volume appeals to
a diverse academic community, from Biblical and Jewish studies to
literary studies, religious studies, anthropology, and
consciousness studies.
