The issue of how to represent God is a concern both ancient and
contemporary. In this wide-ranging and authoritative study,
renowned biblical scholar Mark Smith investigates the symbols,
meanings, and narratives in the Hebrew Bible, Ugaritic texts, and
ancient iconography, which attempt to describe deities in relation
to humans. Smith uses a novel approach to show how the Bible
depicts God in human and animal forms-and sometimes both together.
Mediating between the ancients' theories and the work of modern
thinkers, Smith's boldly original work uncovers the foundational
understandings of deities and space.
