The name 'Yahweh' is of central importance in Judaism, and 'Yahwism' became tantamount to Jewish monotheism. As such, this designation of God also attracted the attention of pagan writers in the Graeco-Roman period. And early Christians had to deal with this divine name as well. These three perspectives on YHWH constitute the framework for this volume. It appears that the Name of God and its revelation to Moses constitute a major theme which runs from the book of Exodus through the Old Testament, early Judaism, and early Christianity. It also attracted pagan philosophical interest, both positive and negative. The Name of God was not only perceived from an insider's perspective, but also provoked a reaction from outsiders. The combined perspectives show the fundamental importance of the divine Name for the formation of Jewish and Christian identities. 410 0$aThemes in Biblical Narrative ;$v9. 517 3 $aPerspectives from Judaism, the Pagan Graeco-Roman World, and Early Christianity 606 $aGod$xName$vComparative studies 607 $aGreece$xReligion 607 $aRome$xReligion 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGod$xName 676 $a201/.11 702 $aKooten$b George H. van 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450837503321 996 $aThe Revelation of the Name YHWH to Moses$92582024 997 $aUNINA
