Putthoff explores early Jewish beliefs about how the human self reacts ontologically in God?s presence. Combining contemporary theory with sound exegesis, Putthoff demonstrates that early Jews widely considered the self to be intrinsically malleable, such that it mimics the ontological state of the space it inhabits. In divine space, they believed, the self therefore shares in the ontological state of God himself. The book is critical for students and scholars alike. In putting forth a new framework for conceptualising early Jewish anthropology, it challenges scholars to rethink not only what early Jews believed about the self but how we approach the subject in the first place. 410 0$aThe Brill Reference Library of Judaism$v53. 606 $aTheological anthropology$xJudaism 606 $aGod (Judaism)$xHistory of doctrines 606 $aGod$xProof, Ontological 606 $aMysticism$xJudaism$xHistory 615 0$aTheological anthropology$xJudaism. 615 0$aGod (Judaism)$xHistory of doctrines. 615 0$aGod$xProof, Ontological. 615 0$aMysticism$xJudaism$xHistory. 676 $a296.32 700 $aPutthoff$b Tyson L$01696168 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826197803321 996 $aOntological aspects of early Jewish anthropology$94075930 997 $aUNINA
