Tamara Prosic gives a new explanation of the origins, development
and symbolism of Passover. First, she examines Passover from the
diachronic perspective, tracing its development from the period
before the centralisation of the cult until the second destruction
of the temple. Issues with previous scholarship are considered,
while at the same time she places the study of Passover within the
framework of the new paradigm of historical studies of ancient
Israel that advocates the indigenous Canaanitic origin of
Israelites. The second part of the book is synchronic in its
approach to Passover and deals with its symbolism. Prosic discusses
Passover in biblical legends arguing that the pre-Yahwistic
Passover was essentially a rite of passage. From there the
investigation moves to symbolic elements of Passover such as time
symbolism, space symbolism and symbolism of the sacrifice. This is
volume 414 in the Journal for the Study of the Old Testament
Supplement series.
