Holiness as a theological concept determines the intellectual agenda of the elite society of writers seeking to describe the land, as well as their preoccupation with its physical aspects and their actual knowledge about it.\u003cbr\u003eZe'ev Safrai succeeds in examining all the ancient monotheistic literature, both Jewish and Christian, up to the fourth century CE, and in demonstrating how all the above-mentioned factors coalesce into a single entity. We learn that in both religions, with all their various subgroups, the same social and religious factors were at work, but with differing intensity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ze'ev Safrai\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004334793\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004334793\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/19\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 556\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.50w x 1.70d","brand":"Ze'ev Safrai","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48066403926271,"sku":"9789004334793","price":211.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0dc1e102-3968-4092-b012-fdfa8b89eaf4.jpg?v=1768678305","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/seeking-out-the-land-zeev-safrai-9789004334793","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
