In A Social-Political History of Monotheism, Cataldo shows how
political concerns were fundamental to the development of
Judeo-Christian monotheism. Beginning with the disruptive and
devastating historical events that shook early Israelite culture
and ending with the seemingly victorious emergence of Christianity
under the Byzantine Empire, this work highlights critical junctures
marking the path from political frustration to imperial ideology.
Monotheism, Cataldo argues, was not an enlightened form of
religion; rather, it was a cultic response to effluent anxieties
pouring out from under the crushing weight of successive empires.
This provocative work is a valuable tool for anyone with an
interest in the development of early Christianity alongside empires
and cultures.
