After identifying the need for a legitimate philosophical approach to Israelite religion, the volume traces the history of interdisciplinary relations and shows how descriptive varieties of philosophy of religion can aid the clarification of the Hebrew Bible s own metaphysical, epistemological, and moral assumptions. Two new interpretative methodologies are developed and subsequently applied through an introduction to what the biblical texts took for granted about the nature of religious language, the concept of deity, the properties of Yhwh, the existence of gods, religious epistemology, and the relation between religion and morality."Resources for biblical study ;no. 70.Philosophy and religionGod (Judaism)Jewish ethicsPhilosophyPhilosophy and religion.God (Judaism)Jewish ethicsPhilosophy.221/.0601Gericke Jaco1129050MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910961299303321The Hebrew Bible and philosophy of religion4479860UNINA
