Opis

This book sets out an approach to something that has been generally considered impossible: a philosophical theology of the Old Testament. Focusing on the nature of Yahweh in the Old Testament, it argues that there is an implicit underlying philosophical framework to belief in God in the Hebrew Bible which is amenable to analytic treatment.
