The Bodies of God and the World of Ancient Israel
Sommer, Benjamin D. (Professor of Bible and Ancient Semitic Languages, Northwestern University, Illinois)
The Bodies of God and the World of Ancient Israel uncovers a lost ancient Near Eastern perception of divinity, according to which a god has more than one body and fluid, unbounded selves. Sommer's book has important repercussions not only for biblical scholarship and comparative religion but for Jewish-Christian dialogue.
