Providing a single conceptual key adapted from the philosophical debate on proper names, the book paints a dynamic picture of YHWH's meanings over a spectrum of periods and genres, portraying an evolving interaction between two theological motivations: the wish to speak \u003ci\u003eabout\u003c\/i\u003e God and the wish to speak \u003ci\u003eto\u003c\/i\u003e Him. Through this investigation, the book shows how Jews interpreted God's name in attempt to map the human-God relation, and to determine the measure of possibility for believers to realize a divine presence in their midst, through language.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hillel Ben-Sasson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030323110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030323110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.75d","brand":"Hillel Ben-Sasson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44126194270463,"sku":"9783030323110","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_22af48b9-7148-4a21-bc0a-3f00f926bd3f.jpg?v=1687446795","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/understanding-yhwh-hillel-ben-sasson-9783030323110","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
