Contents:
Summary: This insightful work examines the variety of ways that collective memory, oral tradition, history, and history writing intersect. Integral to all this are the ways in which ancient Israel was shaped by the monarchy, the Babylonian exile, and the dispersions of Judeans and the ways in which Israel conceptualized and interacted with the divine--Yahweh as well as other deities.
The biblical backdrop to the story of Israel -- Challenges to Israel during the biblical period -- Biblical monotheism and the structures of divinity -- The formation of Israel's concepts of God : collective memory and amnesia in the Bible -- Postscript : biblical memory between religion, theology, and history.
