Conclusion --$tBibliography --$tIndex of Biblical References 330 $aAfter Jerusalem, Bethel is the most frequently cited sanctuary in the Hebrew Bible. The book offers a detailed analysis of Bethel and its sanctuary from archaeological and biblical evidence. It reconstructs the history of Bethel and by analysing the presence of pro- and anti-Bethel propaganda, it argues that the latter, with its own pro-Jerusalem/Judah bias, has resulted in an unfair denigration of Bethel as an idolatrous place of worship. The study suggests that Bethel was a legitimate Yahwistic shrine and continued to be so even after the fall of the Northern Kingdom of Israel to the Assyrians. Hence, Bethel in a real sense was the principal means of configuring Israelite identity. 410 0$aBeihefte zur Zeitschrift fu?r die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft ;$v368. 606 $aJewish shrines$zWest Bank$zBayti?n$xHistory$yTo 1500 607 $aBayti?n$xHistory$xReligious aspects$xJudaism 610 $aAncient history. 610 $aBethel (Israel). 610 $aIsrael. 610 $aantiquity. 610 $asanctum. 610 $astate cult. 615 0$aJewish shrines$xHistory 676 $a296.4/9 686 $a11.41$2bcl 700 $aGomes$b Jules$01560105 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788429903321 996 $aThe sanctuary of Bethel and the configuration of Israelite identity$93825802 997 $aUNINA
