Book Synopsis Understanding YHWH by : Hillel Ben-Sasson

Download or read book Understanding YHWH written by Hillel Ben-Sasson and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-12-11 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book unlocks the Jewish theology of YHWH in three central stages of Jewish thought: the Hebrew bible, rabbinic literature, and medieval philosophy and mysticism. Providing a single conceptual key adapted from the philosophical debate on proper names, the book paints a dynamic picture of YHWH’s meanings over a spectrum of periods and genres, portraying an evolving interaction between two theological motivations: the wish to speak about God and the wish to speak to Him. Through this investigation, the book shows how Jews interpreted God's name in attempt to map the human-God relation, and to determine the measure of possibility for believers to realize a divine presence in their midst, through language.
