In the ancient Near East the God of Israel stands unique; he is the
central character of the Old Testament. The collection of essays in
this volume presents the historical background against which belief
in him developed and discusses aspects of the topic that remain
unresolved or largely unaddressed. What was he like? How does he
differ from other gods of the ancient world? And what difference
does the worship of this god make, both in the world of the Bible
and now? The papers presented contribute to the continuing
discussion about the God of Israel and other deities in the ancient
Near East, and the emergence of monotheistic belief and worship. A
multifaceted approach is adopted in which comparative, theological,
historical, literary-critical, cultural, narratological, canonical,
exegetical and ethical issues feature prominently.
