Ancient Hebrew Literature & Judean Conceptions of God – Dr. Dalit Rom-Shiloni

Are you curious about the development of ancient Hebrew literature and how some of these texts became sacred? And are you curious about how ancient Judeans thought about their God?

In this podcast, we learn from Dr. Dalit Rom-Shiloni about ancient Judean literature and how some of these texts became sacred. She discusses ancient scribal traditions, polytheism and monotheism in ancient Israelite communities, ways the Judean God compared to other ancient near east gods, how Isrealites used anthropomorphic langague to describe God, and why God was portrayed as warrior and enemy.

She also discusses ways ancient Judeans thought about God amid times of pain, suffering and destruction, which is one of the subjects featured in her important new book: “Voices from the Ruins: Theodicy and the Fall of Jerusalem in the Hebrew Bible” from Eerdmans Publishing.
