Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book examines the evolving concept of God in Israelite religion over a millennium, emphasizing the significant yet often overlooked role of women in cultic practices, particularly in domestic settings. It highlights the shift in women's status during the sixth century due to social upheaval and the rise of priestly influence, leading to a redefinition of God as a male figure. The author investigates the reasons behind the decline of women's prominence in religious life and the transformation of Yahweh from a deity with a consort to a solitary, male figure.
