This challenging provocative book argues that there was in ancient
Israel a considerable degree of overlap between the worship of the
sun and of Yahweh-even that Yahweh was worshipped as the sun in
some contexts. As an object created not by humankind but by God
himself, the sun as an object of veneration lay outside the bounds
of the second commandment and was considered by many to be an
appropriate 'icon' of Yahweh of Hosts. Through its ivestigation of
'solar Yahwism', this book offers fresh insight into several
passages (e.g.Genesis 1; 32.23-33; Joshua 10.12-14; 1 Kings 8.12;
Ezekiel 8.16-18; Psalms 19; 104) and archaeological data regarding
the orientations of Yawistic temples, the "lmlk" jar handles, horse
figurines, and the Taanach cult stand. The book argues that the
struggle between Yahweh and other deities in ancint Israel took
place within the context of the development of Yahwism itself.
