This is the first full-scale assessment of the theological, social
and ideational implications of our new understandings of ancient
Israel's social and religious development. Scholars now stress the
gradual emergence of Israel out of the culture of ancient Palestine
and the surrounding ancient Near East rather than contrast Israel
with the ancient world. Our new paradigms stress the ongoing and
unfinished nature of the monotheistic 'revolution', which is indeed
still in process today. Gnuse takes a further bold step in setting
the emergence of monotheism in a wider intellectual context: he
argues brilliantly that the interpretation of Israel's development
as both an evolutionary and revolutionary process corresponds to
categories of contemporary evolutionary thought in the biological
and palaeontological sciences (Punctuated Equilibrium).
