The Invention of God by Thomas Römer (translated by Raymond Geuss) offers a profound exploration of the historical and cultural evolution of the concept of God in ancient Israel. Tracing the development of monotheism from the late Bronze Age to the Hellenistic period, Römer examines the socio-political and religious influences that shaped the rise of Yahweh as the sole deity. This scholarly work presents provocative insights and a stimulating thesis, appealing to those interested in biblical studies, history, and theology.
Praise for the Book:
"There is nothing quite like this book in English… the thesis is provocative and stimulating, and the scholarship is cutting-edge." – Timothy Lim, University of Edinburgh
"A learned and elegant book." – Nathan MacDonald, University of Cambridge
