Conclusion --Bibliography --Index of Biblical ReferencesAfter Jerusalem, Bethel is the most frequently cited sanctuary in the Hebrew Bible. The book offers a detailed analysis of Bethel and its sanctuary from archaeological and biblical evidence. It reconstructs the history of Bethel and by analysing the presence of pro- and anti-Bethel propaganda, it argues that the latter, with its own pro-Jerusalem/Judah bias, has resulted in an unfair denigration of Bethel as an idolatrous place of worship. The study suggests that Bethel was a legitimate Yahwistic shrine and continued to be so even after the fall of the Northern Kingdom of Israel to the Assyrians. Hence, Bethel in a real sense was the principal means of configuring Israelite identity.Beihefte zur Zeitschrift für die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft ;368.Jewish shrinesWest BankBaytīnHistoryTo 1500BaytīnHistoryReligious aspectsJudaismElectronic books.Jewish shrinesHistory296.4/9Gomes Jules1041822MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463470103321The sanctuary of Bethel and the configuration of Israelite identity2465611UNINA03850nam 22007933u 450 991077898930332120230425182737.00-8173-8735-80-585-22193-6(CKB)111004368625256(EBL)1295109(SSID)ssj0000231845(PQKBManifestationID)11225888(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000231845(PQKBWorkID)10209599(PQKB)10359027(MiAaPQ)EBC1295109(EXLCZ)9911100436862525620140414d2013|||| u|| |engur|n|---|||||txtccrRabbi Max Heller[electronic resource] reformer, Zionist, Southerner, 1860-1929Tuscaloosa University of Alabama Press20131 online resource (296 p.)Judaic Studies SeriesDescription based upon print version of record.0-8173-0875-X Contents; Illustrations; Preface; 1.

Max Heller was a man of both passionate conviction and inner contradiction. He sought to be at the center of current affairs, not as a spokesperson of centrist opinion, but as an agitator or mediator, constantly struggling to find an acceptable path as he confronted the major issues of the day--racism and Jewish emancipation in eastern Europe, nationalism and nativism, immigration and assimilation.
