Summary: A scholarly assessment of Israel's religious evolution
Review: Understanding Biblical Israel: A Reexamination Of The Origins Of Monotheism by Hebrew scholar and scripture expert Stanley Ned Rosenbaum is a scholarly assessment of Israel's religious evolution which emerged from polytheistic cultures of antiquity. Addressing the often contradictory pages of the Bible and attributing its conflicts to the diversity of people who wrote and recorded events in it, Understanding Biblical Israel is overall a finely thought-out presentation and a highly recommended contribution to Religious Studies reading lists and reference collections.
