Karel van der Toorn untersucht in diesem Werk die sozialen Hintergründe, das intellektuelle Milieu und den historischen Kontext der Überzeugungen und Praktiken, die in der hebräischen Bibel reflektiert werden.
In this work, Karel van der Toorn explores the social setting, the intellectual milieu, and the historical context of the beliefs and practices reflected in the Hebrew Bible. While fully recognizing the unique character of early Israelite religion, the author challenges the notion of its incomparability. Beliefs are anchored in culture. Rituals have societal significance. God has a history. By shifting the focus to the context, the essays gathered here yield a deeper understanding of Israelite religion and the origins of the Bible.
