Segal * Times Higher Education * Rmer presents a scholarly and provocative account of how a minor tribal deity likely grew to becomeor revealed himself to beLord of Creation. -- David OReilly * Philadelphia Inquirer * Romer is interested in the emergence of a deity whose nature is now so familiar that its startling originality no longer startles. -- Brian Bethune * Macleans * It reads very well, is well translated and has a bit of the excitement of discovery for engaged readers. -- John C. Endres and Jean-Franois Racine * America * Rmer deftly weaves together evidence from the Bible with extra-biblical archeological finds that mention Israel and Yhwh to outline the development of monotheism Not until Jerusalems destruction in 587 BCE did Yhwh become the universal, monotheistic god untied to place or particular monarch, the god who was later adopted by Christians and Muslims. Rmer writes with clarity and accuracy and tells a compelling story. This book is a masterful work, tying together an enormous amount of information in a concise format. * Publishers Weekly (starred review) * There is nothing quite like this book in English. The Invention of God traces the history of the God of Israel from the late Bronze Age to the Hellenistic period, charting the rise of Yhwh as the sole God. The period covered is vast, the thesis is provocative and stimulating, and the scholarship is cutting-edge. -- Timothy Lim, University of Edinburgh Rmer is a sure-footed guide to what is often a difficult discussion. A learned and elegant book. -- Nathan MacDonald, University of Cambridge Rmer is the first to have brought all the relevant material together in such an accessible form, setting out both literary and archaeological evidence clearly and readably. -- John Barton * Church Times * [An] excellent bookA masterly work of historical detection that looks at the evolution of Jewish faith from the Bronze Age to the Hellenic period.
