Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This rich, penetrating analysis should become a starting point for anyone interested in describing how the ancient Israelites thought about their God. It moves theology out of the realm of the ideal and into that of history by showing how the Israelites foregrounded the themes of ‘justification, doubt, and protest’ in their representations of God, especially in response to the upheavals of the sixth century BCE. Rom-Shiloni has made a major contribution with this new way of doing biblical theology.”
