{"product_id":"9783110173765","title":"The Deuteronomistic History and the Name Theology: leshakken shemo sham in the Bible and the Ancient Near East","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis monograph is a comparative, socio-linguistic reassessment of the Deuteronomic idiom, \u003ci\u003eleshakken shemo sham\u003c\/i\u003e, and its synonymous biblical reflexes in the Deuteronomistic History, \u003ci\u003elashum shemo sham\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003elihyot shemo sham\u003c\/i\u003e. These particular formulae have long been understood as evidence of the Name Theology - the evolution in Israelite religion toward a more abstracted mode of divine presence in the temple. Utilizing epigraphic material gathered from Mesopotamian and Levantine contexts, this study demonstrates that \u003ci\u003eleshakken shemo sham\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003elashum shemo sham\u003c\/i\u003e are loan-adaptations of Akkadian \u003ci\u003eshuma shakanu\u003c\/i\u003e, an idiom common to the royal monumental tradition of Mesopotamia. The resulting retranslation and reinterpretation of the biblical idiom profoundly impacts the classic formulation of the Name Theology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47034313277680,"sku":"9783110173765","price":154.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783110173765_p0.jpg?v=1763715335","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783110173765","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
