The Religion Of The Hebrews

by John P. Peters

Book Overview

The Religion of the Hebrews by John Punnett Peters is a comprehensive study of the religious beliefs and practices of the ancient Hebrews. The book explores the historical context in which the Hebrew religion emerged, tracing its development from early polytheistic beliefs to the monotheistic faith of Judaism. Peters examines the key figures and events in Hebrew history, including the Exodus from Egypt and the Babylonian Exile, and shows how these shaped the Hebrew understanding of God and the world. The book also delves into the rituals and ceremonies of Hebrew worship, such as sacrifices, festivals, and prayer, and analyzes the role of the priesthood in Hebrew society. Throughout the book, Peters draws on a wide range of sources, including biblical texts, archaeological evidence, and ancient Near Eastern literature, to provide a rich and nuanced portrait of the Hebrew religion. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of Judaism, the ancient Near East, or the history of religion more broadly.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
