Résumé
Idolatry and Jewish Religious Culture in Ancient Literature by Paul Meyer offers a compelling exploration of one of the most significant themes in Jewish history: the rejection of idolatry. Through an in-depth analysis of ancient Jewish texts, including the Hebrew Bible, rabbinic literature, and the apocryphal writings, Meyer uncovers how the prohibition against idolatry shaped the spiritual and cultural identity of the Jewish people.
This meticulously researched work traces the evolution of the concept of idolatry, from the patriarchs and prophets to the post-exilic period and the Hellenistic challenge, showing how ancient Jews grappled with foreign influences and internal temptations. Drawing on primary sources and offering fresh insights into the complex relationship between Israel's monotheistic faith and the surrounding polytheistic cultures, Meyer argues that the rejection of idols was not only a theological stance but also a moral and intellectual one that continues to resonate in modern Jewish thought.
Whether you are a student of history, religious studies, or someone interested in understanding the deep roots of Jewish monotheism, Idolatry and Jewish Religious Culture in Ancient Literature is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the profound impact of idolatry on Jewish culture and identity throughout the ages.
