{"product_id":"9781628370768","title":"Disembodied Souls","description":"Biblical scholars have long claimed that the Israelites \"could not conceive of a disembodied nefesh [soul].\" In this book, Richard C. Steiner rejects that claim based on a broad spectrum of textual, linguistic, archaeological, and anthropological evidence spanning the millennia from prehistoric times to the present. The biblical evidence includes a prophecy of Ezekiel condemning women who pretend to trap the wandering souls of sleeping people--a prophecy that has been only partially understood until now because of the obscure technical terms that it contains. The extrabiblical evidence suggests that a belief in the existence of disembodied souls was part of the common religious heritage of the peoples of the ancient Near East.","brand":"Society of Biblical Literature","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47038093656304,"sku":"9781628370768","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781628370768_p0.jpg?v=1763869570","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781628370768","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
