Smith, Mark S. (Professor of Theology, Saint Joseph's University; Fellow, Centre for Judaic Studies, Professor of Theology, Saint Joseph's University; Fellow, Centre for Judaic Studies, University of Pennsylvania, USA)
Ancient Israel's neighbours worshipped a wide variety of gods. It is now widely accepted that the Israelites' God, Yahweh, must have originated as one among these many. Mark Smith here seeks to discover more precisely what was meant by "divinity" in the ancient near-East, and how these concepts apply to Yahweh.
