๐ The Scoop
The issue of how to represent God is a concern both ancient and contemporary. In this wide-ranging and authoritative study, renowned biblical scholar Mark Smith investigates the symbols, meanings, and narratives in the Hebrew Bible, Ugaritic texts, and ancient iconography, which attempt to describe deities in relation to humans. Smith uses a novel approach to show how the Bible depicts God in human and animal formsโand sometimes both together. Mediating between the ancientsโ theories and the work of modern thinkers, Smithโs boldly original work uncovers the foundational understandings of deities and space.
Genre: Religion / Biblical Criticism & Interpretation / Old Testament (fancy, right?)
