Summary:

The anthers of this volume fill a need for a close examination of the diverse ways in which monotheism was portrayed in late prophetic and early apocalyptic Jewish literature. Adopting a range of approaches, they show that faith in a single God was no static belief, but closely tied to a host of other concerns and practices that shape its portrayal in diverse and distinctive ways.
